Can anyone help.
Mk1 2000 Tuscan.
I have removed the rear brake calipers to replace the brake discs and the bolts for the caliper to the upright are shot. I need some new ones but TVR Parts can't assist.
Does anyone know the size, length and thread pitch I need so I can find on the net. Wanted to order before I get home to measure the old ones if possible. Thanks in advance.

Ian,
Might have a chance to whip my rear wheel off tomorrow. Bit chilly in garage now!
I'll see if I can undo bolts for dimensions...won't have any idea of thread identification though!

Nick thanks but it's OK. Waited till I got home, measured up and found a supplier of high tensile steel/titanium bolts which I hope will arrive soon and fit. Slightly irritated that TVR parts don't stock them when it's probably a bolt which is taken in and out at pad changes and has the propensity to have head damage the most. Thanks again thou.

^^Ian, that's OK.

Just by chance, thought I'd check Graham Varley's tome (Sagaris manual) - He states "brake calliper to upright fixings" as M10 x 30 long HT capscrew with rect. spring washer...Guess thread is metric as bolt dia is given as M10.
But looks like you're sorted.
