That's them. Won't find them on shelf at a fastner joint and if you get them ordered in it's a coin flip whether the shank (unthreaded section) is too long. Finding a full thread set, like factory, is impossible from anywhere but Ford in my experience.

The same Brembo calipers were also used on the Lexus IS-F and the mid-2000s top end AMG Mercs.

Maybe one of those cars uses the same bolts?

I lost the centre bolt from one of my calipers. That bolt wasn't available from Ford, so I got a Lexus kit from the US: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KWDX3GI/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_dp_1

Thanks for looking around guys.

So it seems the options are;

1. Buy the porsche bolts Phil has described above which seem to be identical to the ford items. Prices look to be slightly cheaper this way. But a much longer wait and more risk with the international shipping.

2. Call pro-bolt and see if they can source the bolts. Their on-line listings are for smaller, motocycle stuff but they may have the means to get them. Price and wait time unknown.

3. Convience Ford you have a fpv. Even my small town dealer can get them overnight. So shorter wait, if the part is wrong you can just turn down the purchase and get them to try again instead of working out returns with an overseas seller, which will never happen. About $10-20 dollars dearer though, which in my mind is cheap insurance.

4. Try the e-bay listings. The spacer kit bolts look good but it doesn't describe the shank length. Would need more chasing up because if that length is even slightly too long you've thrown your money away. The second one looks like the allen key drive would be a pain being so small. Likely to strip at the torque a m12 bolt would need. I don't think you could use a socket on it due to space limitations but not 100% certian off the top of the head. 40mm shank length would be touch and go.

I'm going with option 3. Maybe the most expensive but the part is going to be correct first time, or Ford will front the cost of returning them and getting in the correct ones. I've been burned buying cheap "deals" off e-bay and international sellers. What arrives is not always what you paid for and it ends up being more exensive/painful screwing around with returns. Others may have more luck though.

Pro-bolt may be a good choice too. Would require furthur investigation though. Though looking at the price of their advertised m8 stuff it would be no cheaper then from ford and you'd probably have postage costs too.

Well, that's my take on it anyway. Each options has it's pros & cons so it'll really be up to the individual which avenue they'd like to take.

All this for a f*%king set of bolts!!!! Lol

What happened to the originals? Chewed out?
