Sorted my brakes out last night and realised 1 side didnt have any bolts in the rear pads and it was getting too cold to take the other wheel off again to take 1 out the other side to see what size they are?

Anyone know what size, thread etc? and can i get them from anywhere?

They aren't held in by any bolts :s

well on the side that fell out there is no bolts in and when i look at the other side (the side i havent touched yet) there is 2 torx bolts going through the caliper holding in the outside pad, and the new pads have holes in them that line up so surely there must be?

Do they need to be in? or they there just for extra safety

Dunno, i'd take one from the other side if it was me, and just put one in each

I believe its the phase 1's that had torx screws to hold the pads (not 100% sure).

But no the arent required anyway, just make sure you put the little "L" retaining clip back in :wink:

yes got the L shaped bracket in there, will just have to do with the 1 screw in each caliper!
