opel2000 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 measure the bolts you have and try to find a standard replacement... i.e. if they are an M12 x 70 Cap head, simply look on Ebay or a fastener supplier, here you go I quickly googled this and came up with this http://www.margnor-online.co.uk/153m12x70.html Not too sure what size the caliper bolts are, but If I remember correctly theyy are not far off of this size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Job Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Calliper bolts are safety-critical. Don't just match the size, match the spec of steel used too. NAMRICK will do this for you but you have to buy lots. Pity it's not the older type calliper as I have some bolts for those left over from needing to buy them myself!

HTH Chris That's right mate 12.9 just like on the link I supplied And "if" metric fine then that shouldn't be a problem for most suppliers either, I've never had a problem finding the correct nuts and bolts, the whole world is held together by them, recently bought some M7 off the shelf. Everything is available and not necessarily needed to be old stressed bolts off of a Manta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 m12 x 1.5 pitch 12.9 tensile strength is correct easy to get from engineer suppliers took two days for mine to arrive at local k supplys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
