hi guys
I was doing my sisters rotors and pads on her focus when I realised the rotors couriered to me from DBA were the wrong ones. ****ed off, i put back my sisters old rotors on so she could use the car for the time being. (I ordered 2118, they gave me 2870) Now I tightened the bolts pretty hard - but I didn't use any thread lock material, infact i used a lithium lube. Anyway long story short, my sister had severe problems braking the other day - go figure I check the car and one of hte bolts is missing I've just made some measurements It's a 15mm socket, 41mm high, thread size 11.8mm and inner thread size 10.2mm, diameter of support washer is 23.5mm, and the strength rating is 10.5 units (dunno what units). Total of 15 threads. In anycase, im going to head to bunnings now and see if I can find a similar sized bolt - but would I be able to get an original for this? If i have to buy a new caliper just for that bolt i'll cry. Thanks |
