Tjninny 10 Posted July 8, 2012 Hi, Quick question re bigger brakes set up - I have calipers and new brake pipes for 288mm conversion, but no bolts to fasten pipes to the calipers - where do I get bolts from? (VW?) do I need a washer as well? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daleyboy 0 Posted July 8, 2012 Yes and yes you'll need two washers each side, although i believe that there are two thread depths (1mm and 1.5mm) so be careful :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16VG60 1 Posted July 8, 2012 Daleyboy is referring to the pitch of the thread when he mentions "depth" pitch of a thread is often thought of as a reference to the coarseness of the thread. It is the measured distance between any two neighbouring simillar points along the thread. So if one had a bolt with a metric thread described as M10 x 1.5, the 1.5 would be the thread pitch.
