[TR] caliper bolts

[Wayne Lee]

Hi Jim,
       I haven't checked but, I imagine the Bolts You needed were for the 
late TR6 Calipers. The only excuse for that is when Girling tried to 
diversify applications for the Caliper, they opened up the Mounting Holes to 
12 mm., to fit a larger range of Cars. Therefore it's not so much the Bolt 
Grade, but that they have the unusual combination of a UNF Thread(7/16-20) 
with a 12 mm. Shank or Shoulder.
Regards,
Wayne
