gti caliper bolt size? - karl1989 - 17-05-2013
hi guys just purchased some GTI brake calipers for a up-grade and was told the 2 bolts that hold my caliper to the hub will be too short?. if this is right what size are they if known. cheers

If anything they're too long. When I put mine on they were a nightmare to get tightened up 'cos the threads in the hub hadn't been used that far in. I'd advise running them the whole way in before putting the caliper on.
