I've got new brake pads to fit to Girling calipers (see below)
Haynes 10.2.11 says "A new bolt will be needed for reassembly". Stupid question: do I really need one? Less stupid question: where can I get them?
Thanks.

Only because the bolts come pre coated with thread lock. They often come with the pads.

Thanks bigherb. No bolts with the jurid pads I got from gsf. Will I be able to unscrew the bolts and re-tighten with loctite?
