Post has come and gone today and i still haven't got them 
. Did mine go with just the ones that needed bolts? I can't have the car sat up on axle stands over the weekend... i need the car for work.
What is the spec of the caliper to bracket bolt.... im going to have to go and get one tonight and bodge the spacer again. I really do need the car in the morning.

They are M14x30mm cap-head bolts m8.
Any bolts & fastners place (or even an Engineering company) should stock these. They are dirt cheap. My local place gave me 8 FOC as it wasn't worth the hassle of paperwork. Ask for some samples.
If you can't source that length, try for some longer ones and just cut them short. Use a nut on the bolt when cutting, so you can unwind it and clean up the thread. Then use some threadlock to keep them from undoing.

No , the bolts you need are M12 x 1:25 , the ones that bolt the calipers to the bracket , they are 40mm long , I can send some more out recorded delivery if you want so they should be there in the morning for you.
These bolts are a fine thread so you may have trouble getting them
Let me know
Cheers Ian

Ah, sorry I should have read it properly. The bolts I mentioned are for attaching the bracket to the wheel hub.
I'll update the above post so it doesn't confuse anyone. I'm confused as it is

rooferman, where about's are you?
If you're in the SouthEast area (Surrey/Kent) I dont mind giving you mine if you're desperate as the ones I got fitted as replacements have been fine so far.
Can meet you half way or something?

Gavin ,
You ordered the kit on the 2nd of March , not a month ago , and I had a holiday in between.
I have kept you informed all the way and I told you tuesday that they would be a couple of days to finish , nothing has changed , there just about finished and ready to go but if you want your money back thats ok , let me know.
Ian
Edited to add I have just tried ringing you and spoke to your dad , I have informed him regarding the kit.
