Default Help! Need bolts

Does anyone happen to know the correct bolt for the F50 calipers and where I can get 4? I have these shiny new calipers ready to go on my car but I cant for the life of me find 12mm hex bolts with 1.5 pitch in 90-110mm length. I went over to the local bolt store (Global Metrics, who have very nice people btw) but they do not have it in stock...

Jauder, OSH in Foster City has a pretty good selection of metric bolts. I get most of mine there. And from your house it might take all of 10 miinutes to get there. Good Luck.

Make sure you get the correct grade.

Metric high tensile bolts all should have the grade marked on the head, where as low tensile don't.

Do not install a lower grade than original.

Also if you go to a socket head, they are usually 12.9 where as most hex head are 8.8 or 10.9 at best.

Anyone know what the original bolt's grade is?
