I cant remember the size at the moment, but from memory it's M10x30mm, but please get it confirmed. Make sure you use a Nylock nut on it to ensure it doesn't come undone :onya:

Notty, ya don't buy a new car everytime it gets dirty, so just clean it & polish it.  I've done those bolts before & they come up nice.

Here they are fitted to the front caliper (mounting bolts) while I waited for the braided lines to arrive. All since completed a while ago.

I change the crap bolts that Mr Suzuki fitted to stainless whenever I come across them. I only change the car when the ash tray is full  :)

That'll be the crap bolts of the right metal getting replaced with more brittle stainless that'll fail quicker?  :stir:
