Default what bolt thread are on AP brake bells????

The bolts that hold the bell to the disk are 1/4" but are they UNF or UNC?

Does it matter if they are threaded all the way rather than half way? ie: will fully threaded ones damage the collets on floating disks?

Want to order some new ones in stainless as mine have gone a little rusty and look shite.

cheers.

Scott be VERY careful when swapping over to stainless, I had the same problem with mine but after looking into it I would deffo recommend getting the proper AP ones again.
I recently heard of someone who put stainless bolts on their split rims and most of them sheered off
Brakes must be a similar if not more serious risk
Ask Mr Hadland for advice first

the discs won't have any threads in them
there are nuts on the other side of the bells that the bolts screw to

and these are specially shaped so that they won't come undone

martin is the man for these things
