Default Need help with missing OEM brembo bridge bolts

Hey guys,

I've done a search on the brakes thread regarding these bolts, but for the most part most threads talk about the bolt for the rear brembos, which sizes are different apparently.

I am missing the following bolts circled in red here on the caliper assembly, and was wondering if anyone knew of what it was called or the thread size/pitch of the bolt.



I called Nissan / Infiniti and they do not sell these bolts, as on the service manual it doesnt even show as an individual item.

Also, although this is probably a stupid question, but would anyone suggest using only two bolts on each caliper (e.g. outer ends of the caliper) if the bolts are torqued down pretty damn tight?

Thanks ahead of time

Try getting in touch with Centric or a Centric dealer.

Not a good idea at all. A highly pressured hydraulic system needs all fasteners. You'd most likely blow fluid out and not be able to stop the car.
