so i've found out a couple of the bolts on the front calipers are a bit shitty, i would like to replace them with new ones

where would people suggest i look? (in brisbane)

i've just spent the last half an hour ringing around in a vain attempt to find somewhere i might be able to just tell them the car and they would have the part i want haha (as i'm in the office right now and looking for this stuff on weekends is useless)

i'm guessing it's probably something i would need to take somewhere and get it matched up

anyone got any sure fire places ?

thanks

The bolts you're talking about, are they the ones which hold the calipers in place or something else?

If they're the ones you're talking about, why do you want to replace them for? Sorry if that's a newbie question. :(

I had to buy a pair of bolts for my ke70's calipers (it went missing) and the closest I could get to the right bolt was through Bunnings. They were still too long, but nothing a hacksaw couldn't solve.

Edited by adam-__-
just worn and old, and yeah the ones that hold the caliper on

yeah i'm thinking bunnings is going to be the way

forget hacksaws on high tensile bolts, thats what angle grinders are for

I doubt Bunnings will be the palce to source them. Personally i would try Hobsons or Coventry Fasteners and make sure they are high tensile, and i run allen head cap bolts as i find they made installation easier...but a normal bolt head will be cheaper and do the same thing

well they are just a bolt, so aslong as i can get the right thread i should be right and bunnings sells high tensile

all bolts/nuts sold in australia have to be made to ISO standards anyway so where you get them is not really an issue

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
