Caliper bolts F/R

Elmo,

I'm headed up to the dealership a little later this morning. I rounded the caliper mounting bolts up front more than I'd have liked, so I'm sourcing a couple extra. I'll ask about these bolts as well while I'm there.

What shims would you use?

Something that will withstand the heat of the brakes. Sure somebody sells it online, unlike these holy grail
Of bolts.

Question? What happen to the other bolts?

If you have a grinder. You can grind down the bolts to length. If you don't want to do that. And want to use a shim. Any mild steel washer will work.

I don’t trust myself to use a grinder.
