Brake Repair Bolt Kit
The MIDWEST FASTENER 31462 pack supplies eight coarse-thread hex washer head body bolts sized 1/4"-20 by 1 inch. These fasteners suit automotive brake repair jobs where a flanged head distributes clamping load across the mating surface. Technicians and DIY owners handling caliper bracket or dust shield mounting will find the quantity convenient for a single axle service.
Coarse Thread Limits
Coarse 1/4"-20 threads engage faster than fine alternatives but resist vibration loosening less effectively under extreme cyclic loads. The one-inch grip length restricts use to components whose combined thickness matches that engagement window. Over-torquing the hex washer head risks stripping the relatively shallow coarse pitch, so a calibrated torque wrench matched to the service manual is essential.
Straightforward Installation
Installation proceeds by hand-threading each bolt to prevent cross-threading before final tightening with a six-point socket. The integrated washer face eliminates separate flat washers, reducing parts count on the bench. The most common error is mixing these coarse-thread bolts into a fine-thread hole, which damages the female threads and compromises the repair.
