97 M900 Rear Brake Caliper Bracket & Bolts

[greenohawk69]

1) What size are the rear brake caliper bolts?
2) Are there aftermarket options for the rear caliper bracket?

Asking as I bought an extra one and the bolts backed out this AM to work.

3) What options are there for the bolt hole? Time cert? Not sure as it feels like plastic.

1) Generally, M8x1.25 - 20mm long, 22mm long if using the OEM washer/lockwasher combo.
     Check that the bolts don't protrude out the back and drag on the rotor.

2) I've seen some aftermarket caliper brackets, not sure of current availability.

3) Time Sert is the best option for field repair.
    Helicoil can be done successfully with very careful drilling and tapping with a drill press or better.
     
    The bracket is difficult to hold securely for drilling.

Low profile M8's from Mcmaster work well and look very trick.
