Come across a small problem before i start with my caliper change....need to source some M12x1.5 40mm caphead bolts. Seems I cant get them from my local nut/bolt specialists so by any chance has anyone here got some laying around?

Cheers

Er, do you need high tensile ones if you are using them on the brakes??

Just a thought

[s2driveruk]

yep

I'm not sure why you need 40mm bolts, but I got my high tensile M12s for my brake upgrade from Audi. It was the only place I could get them.

Here's the ones I used:

Carrier - Strut. N 100 880 03 (M12x1.5x25mm) £0.95+VAT each
Calliper - Carrier. N 100 650 02 (M12x1.5x70mm) £1.52+VAT each

If that's any good to you?

N 100 880 01 / N 100 436 02 was the ones I used for the RS2 upgrade.

yep

Just making sure you weren't thinking of using any old bolt from someone's shed!

:-) noooo no hardware store specials.....

The reason i need this size is that I am using the brackets that martinjs made.

@mikeS2 what are the dimensions of those u quote and are they a caphead as opposed to hex?

Cheers all!

[s2driveruk]

as in not high tensile

[spink]

They have sorted me out in the past with loads of odd sized bolts upto 12.9(tensile strength) which is more than adequate for what you need,next day delivery usually.

[Mikes2]

Short ones are 25mm and the long ones are 65mm

Not sure why you want cap head. You can see what they look like here:

I'm guessing Martin's carriers are thicker than the RS2 or Seat carriers. Maybe they also have a recess for socket caps.
Mine look the same as Mike's.

@ 4wheel drifter - yep exactly those reasons
@ mikes2 cheers for the pictures
@ Spink...the tensile quote was at Fat Audi 80, i'll be onto Hawk if I cannot source them from one other local bolt place - cheers for the link!

This type of bolt is usually reffered to as a "cap head" Mike.
