Default replacing front caliper hardware

I am replacing the front caliper with a chrome one.
I see in the chrome caliper hardware kit comes with 4 bolts and it looks like 2 pad pins.
I have chrome lower forks that have chrome bolts on them already.
Are 2 of the bolts in the kit for the lower fork and I don't need them?
What size are the other 2 caliper bolts?

Take your caliper off and compare them, choose which ones you want to use.

The front end, brale componants and battery are metric, also starter. Frt end is showa and starter is a hitachi. Be careful on chromebolts, they dont have a shoulder on mounting bolts, theres a reason hd doesnt make chrome bolts, they can become loose andmove

I might be wrong, but I'm willing to bet those aren't made by the MoCo. Half the stuff they sell is foreign made.
