Brembo Mounting Bolts

[Phil MC]

Are those 100pcd discs I gave you gonna be ok for you Kenny?

You know I would be very wary of buying bolts for your brakes off Fleabay, as I've heard more than a few times, people purchasing saftey critical items such as Spacers and bolts from Ebay, and the ensuing accidents often is surprising that people were not killed...

Personally something like that, I'd just bite the bullet and Buy the right bolts in the first place... it could be cheaper in the long run...

What about clearance Clarence?

Cant see what the fixation is with dealer bolts. If you buy the correct grade of high tensile bolt from a reputable seller, there are loads on ebay, I fail to see what the issue is. Mine havnt fell off yet and I would be quite happy to bet anyone on here the value of their car that they wont

Hi mate ,it's not a fixation with dealer bolts ,i did try other avenues when i ordered from AS Performance i got the bolt size from Ian Godney gave it to Alyn and the bolts i got did not fit I called up next day just to comfirm the bolt size and ASP were cconfused,they then consulted other people including Ian Godney and all confirmed that the bolt size should be M12X1.5mm pitch so there thinking is the hatchback calipers are a different bolt size ,me i do not know but someone will ,might actually get an engineer to check the thread on it .Did not want to keep buying the wrong bolts my house would have looked like an ironmongers then she would have told me to bolt anyway thanks for the link Arch handy to have for the future .

Cheers Kenny

Kenny my "fixation" comment was in response to some of the comments which suggest that only a dealer can provide bolts of an adequate spec. I can see why you got fed up. I must admit it sounds strange that they are a different thread pitch than normal

Hi Arch ,juts back from T.M.Smith engineers got some discs skimmed £20 for one disc which i thought was good ,i got them to check the thread pitch on the dealer bolts an it turns out that they are M12x1.5mm pitch so the ones from AS Performance are wrong will phone them on monday,so in future i will take a leaf out of your book and find out the bolt size and pitch and see if i can get them from the link you posted

Kenny that is really unlike Alyn at ASP to be fair.

Everyone should ahve a set of metric and imperial thread gauges for just this sort of scenario

There is no physical reason why you couldnt do it yourself, as long as their is plenty material between the 114 pcd holes, but you would have to be accurate. I have redrilled my rear diff as it had a six speed hole pattern which is slightly different from the 5 speed prop,but to to be honest I prob would sell the discs and buy new ones but think quite a few people have done this without any issues relating to weakening the disc

Thanks mate , i have spoken to Ian Godney about them he can do them for £25 for the pair but the bummer is the £30 or so for delivery there and back,he did say that there is no issues with weakening the discs he has been doing it for years i did ask the engineers who skimmed my discs i got from Phil Mc but it would be more money as he would need to set it all up........we will see.
