Bolts for calipers?

Hey all,

Anyone any idea where I would find 4 bolts for the rear calipers. I have new calipers and discs etc to fit but don't want to use the old ones.

Question

Think I would just measure them up and order some decent stainless items instead of the stock items. Loads of fastner suppliers out there.

Cheers

Stainless bolts should never be used for safety critical fixings like brake or suspension fixings!!
Those parts should only held in place with a bolt that meets or exceeds the manufacturers specification !!
Stainless bolts meet very few stress tests.

Stainless bolts are too brittle to use for brakes or suspension.

I hunted about for ages trying to find some (they have a really weird threat it seems) and it turned out the local XPart were only 60p a bolt lol

Maybe, I just copper grease all the bolts and live with the rusty heads, although I have had some success dipping bolt heads and nuts in Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 it turns them a satin Black and does seem to keep the rust at bay.
