    285mm brake conversion bolts?

    I have the brackets but where do I get the bolts?

    Oh if anyone needs some cheap discs you can get them for £64.50 delivered from http://www.brakeparts.co.uk

    They are exactely the same thread else how else is it meant to bolt into the hub and size wise there is no difference, you just need an additional two each side.

    Is it really the 285mm brake you are talking about or only the 260mm?

    I hope it's 285 as I've just ordered the discs standard Renault 4 stud txi discs are 285mm and I believe that's what fits on the big brake group buy we did last year..

    So I just need a 4 standard caliper bolts.. that should be straight forward enough

    yeah there the correct discs, normal bolts should be ok but about 5mm extra would be better.

    Okay, sorry. I thought you are using the Clio 16V brake which is only 260.
    I didn't know about that group buy.

    Any ideas on what to ask for if I want the extra 5mm ones.. as I've tried a number of bolts from my shed and none seem a good fit..

    I don't think I'll have a problem getting another set of caliper bolts from Renault but if you know the exact spec it'll be really useful.. in fact I'd get a couple of sets in case someone else needed them.

    No problem, it was probably 2 years ago.. I'm just a bit slow when it comes to fitting things
