Rear caliper carrier bolt
mk7matt - 16/3/16 at 12:28 PM

Anyone know the ford part number for a Sierra rear caliper carrier bolt?
I've just spent 30 mins down my local ford garage and we've had to guess on a bolt that is only 25mm long.
(M10 x 25 hex head)
Does that sound right?

Cheers
Matt

Sounds about right you can always cut it to length if it's too long but if it's short it could be dangerous. MAKE SURE IT IS GRADE 10.9.

Thanks.
My concern was that it was too short.
I had estimated it to be 35-40mm long.

Unless it's a countersunk head (which I don't remember it being) then the length is measured from the underside of the hex head to the end of the threaded part (or end of the bolt). Easy to measure and compare with replacements. As above, make sure you use a 10.9 grade bolt of the right length and you should be fine. Again, I don't recall from building my MK Indy, but it may be suggested to add thread lock to the bolt when fitting to make sure it stays put.

ETA...this may help you with the length part...
