Just got some 330 calipers, and I think the alen key headed bolt is going to cause cleaance issues on my 17 inch wheels... http://ddy.fotopic.net/p51020865.htmlhttp://ddy.fotopic.net/p51020866.htmlIf you notice in the pictures they protrude quite a long way out... I was thinking of switching them to normal socket set headed bolts to reduce the profile. Is this a bad idea? Where would be a good place to take the old bolt so they could match it with a normal headed bolt? Cheers Paddy

I see. I wouldn't have thought you'd have any problems with swapping them for regular bolts. I'd whip one out and head to B&Q.

I'd be more serious on the quality of bolts I'd use for my brakes tbh! High stress steel would be nice...

Paddy, the discs are basic 330 mm ( or whatever the size is Brembos, but for the F40, as they have CAST holes in them ,these really are pukka bits, as they have floating discs & the bells ). the whole lot was a TI special, the quality from the firm that made them was top notch, however one minor thing is that the outer pads have to have 2 - 3mm of the outer edge cut away, as it otherwise clashes with the rotor, not big issue, as i did them at work & then repainted, but the stopping even on OEM Alfa pads is quite something & NO SQUEAL ever

john, your right - Just! http://ddy.fotopic.net/p51171197.htmlhttp://ddy.fotopic.net/p51171198.htmlhttp://ddy.fotopic.net/p51171199.htmlJust did a mock up fit with the old 305 mm discs on to see if the wheels would clear the calipers. They clear the bolts that I was woried about fine, as the wheel has a bigger radus further away from the face of the wheel. The clearance of the caliper is smallest at the front where the radius goes down... But its all good - min 2 mm clearance everywhere. Can't wait to get all bits I need and fit them properly! Just a further thing on the bolts - I have looked at the oe items, and they are all marked 10.9, so this mus be the correcy grade for braking compoents. Cheers
