I wouldn't like to say, but I did manage to get some 12.5 rated ones from BAPP, for only a few quid.

 

Probably 12.9 actually.^

You really want 10.9 for brakes and 12.9 for suspension stuff as that's what VW use...

 

A fastener place will sell you stronger ones but try and find a match for the the size you need on ETKA and buy VW ones as they seem to corrode much less than standard bolts with that green coating they use.

not sure if our jim knows, but on one of the estaes in Leamington we have an outlet for bolts/screws etc and they're pence. I imagine most towns have something similar. It seemed to be trade, because when I asked for 2, he asked if I wanted two boxes of 1,000 - yikes!

You should be using 10.9 for calliper adapters from memory. I've used these guys before for (funnily enough) non standard screw thread bolts. They do small quantities (I bought 4).
