brake caliper bolts

The age old caliper bolt question.

1986 ninety on original axels as far as i know.

Needs new caliper bolts - i ordered the ones from paddocks which came as 1/2 UNF

the holes are not 1/2 UNF - they are either 1/2 UNC or M12 to my eye.....

can any one confirm what they should be so i can get a tap and new bolts ordered up for the one i tried to screw the UNF into and mullered the first thread

The 1987 110 parts book suggests FTC3375 - a google of that suggests Metric double hex.

In the same book is AFU1031, for non vented discs, which seems to be M12. maybe your calipers have been changed at some stage?

Whatever Paddocks sent you, you need the other one. Have a look at their receipt, it should have the part number on it.

cheers for that , i have the wrong bolts at unf so m12 sounds about right

ill check it out wtih an M12 bolt on the good side before i order anything in that case - it was last thing last night , you know tired etc - ill just fit that caliper GODDAAM !!
