I lost one not too long ago and I was at NAPA trying to find the right bolt by using nuts they had that threaded onto the other caliper bolt I had. yeah, not the best of time.
.. and that's why I usually keep every fastener I've taken off while parting out a vehicle. Brake caliper bolts - probably have 20 of them.ptschram said:
magnet tray for me. trick is to ACTUALLY use it and put things in there when taking it apart. Got in to the habit while building bikes, lots of tiny little pieces and parts.

You're preaching to the choir.
I've also taken to including bits of hardware with each UK order. Better to ship parts than air.

paul, world pac sells a lot of rover hardware. i found out when i was killing some time one day. but you have to enter the rover part number in the search box. i know they have all the hardware for the valley pan job (intake bolts and vc bolts) and water pump. (bosch motors).
there are actually more then one size for the caliper bolts...strange but true.
the ones on the early range rovers and some 94 and 95 discos are smaller then the later D1 bolts.

The switch from imperial to metric calipers took place in mid model year 1993.
The metric bolt is 35 m/m long, per microcat.
