Brake Caliper Bolts

[top_man_eldo]

Afternoon Fellas,

All of my caliper bolts have been over tightened by a idiot previous owner, I have managed to get them all out with an easy out socket set which has obviously chewed the bolt heads to bits so now I need some more bolts.

I need the front caliper to hub bolts (17mm) x 4, front slide pin bolts (12mm) x4, rear caliper to hub bolts (14mm) x 4 and rear slide pin bolts (12mm) x 4.

Can anyone help me with this?

Anthony.

Should be able to but you'd probably be best buying new?

[petet16]

Bizarrely, none of the bolts are available separately new, only as part of the oe brake pad kits.

[top_man_eldo]

It's a pain in the ass to buy new to be honest. I contacted Rimmers and they don't sell the bolts individually, there's none in the scrap yards local to me, and they're also a fine threaded type of bolt and I've got no way of measuring the pitch of thread etc so I can't even order any specially!

[petet16]

The pitch is no problem, the bolts are metric fine which is 1.25mm pitch.

I'll have to have a look when I get home. I think the caliper to hub bolts are M10?

[petet16]

Yeah, M10 sounds right for the caliper to hub bolts.

As I say, should be able to help out (both Rears came off no issue as I grease the sliders every 6 months) fronts should be good too though.

Thanks fellas, Smokey let me know if you can supply with a price etc. I couldn't believe how tight they were. I needed a torque wrench and over 100nm to get the slide pin bolts out!

Previous owner had a torque wrench with one setting I reckon, 'kin tight doubled.
