Front caliper bolts

I need a couple of front brake caliper bolts for my S40. Has anyone got a couple lying about?

I think you can buy a new set for less than £15 from a good motor factors.
I had to for another car I used to own and they were of the same brand used by the manufacturer.

As it happens, they are £1.58 each from Volvo. As an added bonus, you get to go and stand in their shiny showroom in your scruffs when you go to collect them.

Found four decent ones after changing front calipers, I take it you mean the ones you undo to change the pads, not the larger ones on the hanger.

It all went tits up yesterday. The rusty slightly rounded bleed nipple decided that shearing off flush was better than undoing. I now need a front caliper as well as a rear.

Have you tried Gatos, or the other guys breaking cars ?
