Re: Mcgaughys Big Brake Kit

Are those grade 5 bolts with metric 8.8 on the calipers? Why not go for grade 8 and 10.9 flange bolts? Might be a bit more but worth piece of mind.

Good eye, I was waiting for someone to catch that. When I mocked it up, I didn't have the correct length bolts in grade 8 and I usually run factory caliper bolts but in this application they were too short so again I grabbed what I had in the nut and bolt bins. I figured that be strong enough for mock up pics.
