What are these called? ST-60 part

Hi,

I have these bolts that hold the brake pad bracket in place on my ST-60 BBK. I want to replace a set that aren't looking so good. What are these called? Is there a part number to reference for a replacement?



Thanks for the help.

Damn, I thought mine were looking bad when I replaced them.
Yours look even worse!

$38 a bolt? Someone should "retro-engineer" it a sell it for less.

Why replace them? Are they bent?

Also, use anti seize so the threaded insert in the caliper doesn't come out.

That's for the Trophy ST60 kit. It has a thicker rotor and the bolts are WAY more. I hope they're made of titanium!!

The regular ST60 bolts are $7/each. Still not cheap.

This


Clean them up, use some anti seize and don't over tighten.

One bolt broke earlier in the season when I went to do a pad change. I figure I'll change them in case there is fatigue. I haven't been using anti-seize but will get on that train going forward.
