Where can I get caliper bolts...

discomania · Dec 3, 2008

I stripped the hubs down on Sunday to do the discs and when it came to the last bolt which would let me that the lot off (bottom caliper bolt) I discovered to my horror it had been rounded.

Late at night I decided to rebuild the hub, last night I got the bolt out, about an hours work, ended up getting the welder out!

I had bought 4 new caliper bolts but when I went to get the new ones I discovered they were fine threaded ones and the ones I have are course.

I am trying to find the right ones can anyone point me in the right direction. They are 13mm bi-hex bolts with a course thread.

I would've said the quickest way is if you take one of the old bolts to your local metal/builing supplier or motor factors they should be able to match it up.

They we're about £7 each at my local landy dealer. If I had more time I would have sourced them from elsewhere.

One or two of mine were rounded as well and we had to resort to using a slightly smaller socket and a hammer to get them off. I'm surprised to say the cheap Draper socket lived on.
