Help need brake caliper bolt, what are they from

[impycelin]

Hi, stuck in cardiff tonight 100 miles from home after one of the allen key fitting bolts that bolt the front brake caliper carrier to the hub/uprights dropped out on the M4! Any one know what they are from or what size and tread bolt I could use with a spring washer and locktight to get me home. 96 Griff 500.

I think they're M10 standard pitch. Make sure whatever you use is high tensile!

If you don't get sorted by this afternoon drop me a mail(wont be near the computer but can receive mails on phone), I maybe able to pop down with a bolt.

Just an update I have just found the exact bolt in my garage and it is an M10x30mm approx(no tape to hand) but the important bit is that it is a 10.9 grade HT bolt not the normal 8.8.
