So where do you get 7mm x 1 bolts at? I had to cut one off and several of the heads are a little rounded. I'm having a heck of a time.

ok, okay im back with a brake question. when you take the calipers apart then get ready to re-assemble a couple of pages out there are talking about a brake rebuild grease, or something. The question begs, should something be put on the faces of the split calipers before re-assembling them? lube the piston with brake fluid only? I've used Plastilube in the past around the pistons. It's an assembly lube that can be purchased from Pelican. I haven't put anything on the faces of the split calipers. I may put a dab on the o-rings ( 911 M calipers) to hold them in place as I put the faces back together but that's it. |

So I found the bolts on the Auto Atlanta website, but I can't find them anywhere else and I'd like to get them from someone closer so I can get them quicker. I tried Fastenal, Mcmaster Carr and Tacoma Screw (local), but I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I've got the caliper halves all put back together and painted so now I just need to find some bolts. |
