mfordy Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hey mate, I think you are going to have the same prob as me when fitting your M16 calipers to older style imperial (Cortina/early Capri) struts which have 7/16" mounting holes. Not sure how to solve. Either: 1. Use 7/16" bolts and shim the holes 2. Drill/Tap struts to 12mm - not sure there's enought material to do that 3. Saw in another forum that you can buy 7/16" bolts with a 12mm shoulder. Do these exist? hi any one know where in aust i might be able to get the correct bolts for fitting m16 calipers onto capri struts they are 7/16 threads and have got a 12mm shoulder Any problems dealing with Burtons? There's another crowd in the UK called GSEscorts which seem a little bit cheaper than Burtons but don't know too much about them. Ya Tinas looking good by the way.

kiwitina Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 A company called Smith and Arrow make em. You can find them on trade me. http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farmi ... 032170.htm or search users for listings by 'smithandarrow'. They are the best. Far better than those 3m things.

Mike Hey Goodman, these are the bolts you need for mounting M16 calipers http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2ec42f0777 Cheers PS They are 18 pounds not 999.99 as listed. He's temporarily out of stock but should be available end next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
