Front brake mounting bolts
I'm looking to replace mounting bolts on the front brakes on my 83 XLX. The boltsare allen wrench heads and are getting rounded off so bad that they're difficult to remove/install. I would like to replace all four bolts (dual front brakes....two per side) Anybody know where to get those bolts? I'll post some pics if necessary. Thanks for any help

So I had to use an Easy Out to get one of my caliper mounting bolts out because the allen wrench hole became a circle. I tried to JB weld the allen wrench in, but it was too round inside to work. I'm ordering some new bolts now.

Somehow I missed this thread but the first place I try to replace anything is Ace Hardware. Not all of them are equal but if it's a really good one andyou don't mind SS instead of chrome, they are much cheeper that the special order ones.
