Hi guys,

Does any one know what size bolt holds the caliper on a Beetle.

Cheers

I am pretty sure it is 10 x 1.5mm. Someone correct me if I am wrong!
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

I can't remember exactly cos my spindle's threads for the calipers got machined off few years ago. It uses a bracket that now has M12 x1.5 by 40?
