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!

sounds about right. I also think it has 17mm head?

Yeah that rings a bell too. I should know it wasn't that long ago I put my calipers on! Hahaha

Seems I got a bit of p[aint on the threads and I didnt want to run the wrong tap
.
All fixed.

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?
