caliper to spindle mounting bolts(Kelsey Hayes)
Could i ad my .02 cents to this topic if i may.
Some of you may know me as having rebuilt literally dozens of these KH disc brake components.
Sometimes i didn't get all 4 of the factory original "shoulder bolts" as they officially are known as in the trade.
Yes, when that guy manufactured them, i bought a few sets from him, as needed.
When they became unobtanium again, what ya gonna do?
I put a few sets together with one, two, maybe all four bolts, with Home Depot, grade 8 bolts, and never lost any sleep over it.
Gotta do, what ya gotta do, to get a set of brakes, back on the road again.
And let me tell you, before my Air Force years i was a machinist in a tool shop for a couple of years, so i have previously been in the industry.
So use some grade 8 bolts, but the caliper onto the spindle, use some self locking nuts, tighten them down, then don't worry about it, loose any sleep over it.
Put it back together, have fun, enjoy the driving.
In all these years, nobody, has ever gotten back with me, with problems, if all 4 of those caliper mounting bolts were installed with Home Depot ones during the rebuilding.

EDIT.
Ya, at one time in the distant past, i also looked into getting those bolts repoped.
Even getting a minimum run of them made, it just didn't pencil out cost wise to peruse it any further than getting estimates.
Just way to expensive, and i never would have the time in trying to find buyers for such a limited market for them.
