Found those bolts easily at my local bolt shop when we made similar adapters. If you do not find them there, i can send you bolts from here (sounds though dumb to send bolts from europe to USA )

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find that thread pitch.. They call it a fine pitch here.. when it's actually somewhat of an in between. All they have commonly available here is the 1.75 pitch. So I have to source out for the 1.5. I appreciate it.. It seems they're around. Just not common.

Did you leave the bleed nipples in stock location or flip them like this article says ?

NOPE! Another advantage of these calipers.. leave them as is. Smaller piston diameter as leading edge (bottom). understanding caliper # 996-351-430-10 caliper being the front right. The bleeder screw is in the correct "up" position. So just install..

There are 2 sets left at Pro-Technik Houston TX. Bolts are all in. Ready to ship.

Also seems there are more pad options for this caliper.

I'll be interested to see how this goes on your car being so light? I have wondered if we can overbrake based on loosing many hundreds of pounds, especially without ABS?

I have seen these in person and they appear to be of top caliber machining. Note the generous radii that avoid stress risers
