Just recieved my new disc brake kit and I have a question. There are no bolts to hold the calipers on the spindle. I double checked the package contents on the billing statement and they're not listed. So what size bolts do I use?

Also, do the washers that retain the bearings in the front drum brakes translate to the disc kit, or do I need new ones?

it has been a while since i did one so doublecheck my statements, but i think the bolt is a 12mm x 1.5 and yes, you reuse the retaining washer (assuming it is in good shape). hopefully someone can confirm or correct my statements though.

i think that is right...i just took my parts to home depot and tested with the hardware they had.
