Front caliper hex bolts

[IanU]

Morning all,
Planning to change the front discs and pads on the car soonest. Do I need to change the 4 hex bolts as well and if so where is best to get them? ES have them at about £20 each + shipping .
Cheers Ian.

No, they aren’t stretch bolts, so no need to change them.

Thanks Zep

I'm sure you could find the same bolts as OEM for a lot less than £20 each for a reputable fastener supplier.

Try Westfield Fasteners - next day postage.

I use Accu, they are also fast and do next day.

But as they don’t need replacing, don’t waste your money.

100nm tightening torque, hang the calipers with a cable tie and don’t let them hang on the flexi hoses, that’s about it.
