Remember my multiple year quest to find the right bolts to complete my attempt at a Frankenstein front brake conversion to wide 5?

Neither one of us ever found the right size bolt. Closest I got was the right size, wrong thread pattern from some place in Italy that wanted the equivalent of a house payment for each bolt. But of course they touted being a vendor for Ferrari so that explained that.

I still think about it, Bob.

I wanted to drill out the lug-holes, and re-tap them in a larger SAE size so I could get the hardware I wanted... but the process would probably have been just about as expensive as getting new brakes.

I still want to do this someday. EMPI 4-lug brakes are CRAZY cheap, and there's not a single thing wrong with a quality adapter for wide-5 wheel to 4 lug hubs.
