caliper bolt size
a friend of mine asked a question on another forum thought this was the place to get the best answer:
"Does any one know the size of bolt and thread pitch that a 02-06 road king front caliper? The bolt that holds the brake pads in place. its ike a 8mm socket. The threads on my caliper stripped and i want to repair them."

Can't really tell if you need to replace the pins because they're ruined, or just clean up the threads.
You're not going to find those at the hardware store. They are not just a typical bolt. The best bet is to go to H-D and order a new set. (It's like $10 for a set.)
If you just need to tap the caliper to clean up the threads, just measure the threads on the the pins to determine threading.
Also, they are not 8mm head; they are 1/4" 12-point. That way he won't mess up the head next time he's working on it.
