Hi all

I have a lovely Volvo 480 Celebration, but have a problem, the bolt that allows the brake caliper to slide has twisted, and it now knackered. putting it not so poiltely.

All the car part brokers want to sell me the complete caliper to, which I don't need, has anyone got any suggestions please.

Thanks
Suz

go to a breakers and just remove the slide bolts from the car, put them into the top drawer of your toolbox, shake it about a bit and then walk out saying, what a shame there were no parts that I wanted.......

No reponsibilty taken by myself for subsequent arrests
