the bolts that hold the two halves of the caliper together are very scabby looking, i was wondering if its safe to change them out for a2 stainless ones. probably not advisable for the mounting bolts i would of thought.

Stainless is not very strong and the bolts you have there will be High tensile bolts so I wouldnt if I were you!

I'd be tempted to wire brush them in situ and dab on some heat-resistant black. Brake hardware is high tensile and some of the torque settings are pretty critical. The consequences of a stainless steel one either failing or backing out wouldn't be pretty!
