Hi
Would anyone know, the code for the large bolts that hold, the brake cradle onto the steering knuckle not the slider ones, or even know where I can get them?. The start of my VIN is :- W0L0VBM. I have included a photo, showing the piece I need the two bolts for.




Thank you in advance for any help.

I've had a look and can't find any in my box of spares.

If the old ones are still in one piece then pop down to an engineering shop and ask them to match - theres a couple near us we've used in the past

Thanks GastronomicKleptomaniac

Having great fun, taking the front driver side bits apart, just to remove the control arm. The brake bolt heads are rusty as anything, so had to tap a slightly smaller socket on, luckily they came out. One of the sliders has stuck in the caliper so wil be doing them again, even though were done, when shocks were done. Just fighting with the control arm, to steering knuckle ball joint bolt. Was thinking of getting new complete calipers as I did on Mags car.

Catch up with you soon

EPC says VX90541296, OP-5-43-218, M12x40. It doesn't specify the pitch, and I suspect they're metric fine. They're also probably 8.8 High Tensile, but you'll need to look at the heads to know for sure.

if the pitch isn't specified it ought to be metric coarse, which is 1.75mm for M12. But cars are littered with M12x1.5 ptich threads, which is a bit of an oddball
