Default What size bolts....

Hi guys,

What size are the bolts that hold the front 4 pot calipers onto the impreza?? are they M12 and what type of thread are they??

Second question does anyone know in the surrey area where I can get 4 of these slightly longer (fitting brake conversion) around 50-60mm??

Thanks in advance

M12 is normally associated with 1.75mm pitch thread as in M12x1.75
This is a standard thread size.

That is the std thread pitch for an M12 bolt but unfortunately the ones i am after are around 1mm thread pitch, getting them measured and made tomorrow but a toolmaker
Try getting hold of special bolts, its hard work
