Subject: Helicoil kit for caliper mounts??
IP: Logged

Message:
Anyone know what size threads are tapped into the spindle where the caliper mounts to? both my calipers are "floating" and the noise is pretty annoying, not to mention makes me worry about brake performance. I think someone said it has 9mm threads, and someone else said its a really weird size. If it comes down to it I'll just pull a bolt out, get a ride to the store, and check the thread size on it. any feedback welcome. I know this is a common problem.

9mm
Helicoil kits are rare cause of odd ball size but they are out there for a over the top price i believe it was 9mm X 1.25 thread pitch

yup, about $25 for the kit. I picked one up to repair broken exhaust manifold bolts, but ended up getting lucky with left handed drill bits.
