Correct brother, I need the bolts but want to source them from somewhere besides the dealer at 1000% markup. I also looked in the service manual, I guess I will just have to take the caliper to ace hardware and figure it out.

They are either M14-2 or M14-1.5. I'd have to measure the pitch when I get home.

can anyone suggest what color powdercoat on a non sport caliper would look good with blue slate? It's a tough color to match with... was thinking white??? but I can see it being filthy all day. How about paint matched?
