What about adding Lock-tight, or thread locker instead of buying new bolts?
You discuss the fact the bolts are "stretched" when applied to the torque spec, but are we exceeding the tensile strength of the bolt design... or even reaching the yeild strength?

Don't get me wrong, caliper bolts are a safety item and critical to the operation of the braking system. But I don't always have extras available.
