Hi

does anyone know where I can get the 7/16th UNF bolts to mount the calipers on a 200tdi?
also the brake hose brackets are very rusty and obsolete, any ideas?

that's great info. Thanks. Why are they so expensive compared to metric?
Because they are what the trade call a "preferred size/thread". Had this problem when a rep selling Enots pneumatic control equipment. Enots had its own thread, presumably to stop people buying competiors equipment and then bolting it to Enots equipment, (see Schrader or Martonair) but they started making stuff with metric threads, and all that was compatible with anything else metric. In about 1976 Enots told us to tell our customers that they were going to make all the imperial stuff a "preferred size" and I was told to tell them to think about stocking up if they wanted to keep using it before the price went up. (I didn't work directly for Enots, I worked for a pipeline supply company, but was the pneumatics technical rep). Then bluddy Enots changed its mind and didn't put the price up. Imagine the fury of those who had taken my advice! No use me telling them it wasn't my fault!
