10x1.25 - Very easy to tap and clean up the threads. Most dealerships will
carry the new bolts in stock (common problem).

Subject: DML: Re: caliper bolt hole
Hey, Stephen,
<snip> I have a stripped front caliper bolt hole, is there anything I can do
to fix it besides replace the spindle? <snip>
Get yourself a thread pitch gage & a micrometer or vernier caliper & figure
out what size thread you have on the bolt. Then get yourself a Helicoil kit
for that thread. It'll come with a drill, tap, helicoil inserts, an
insertion tool & a tang break off tool. If you can get at the hole with the
drill & tap, you need maybe 15 minutes to complete the task. If you have any
questions, e-mail me off list...
