The rest of the threads on the bolt look fine. Guess I won't know the damage until I get the new bolts to try.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

As TP suggests, try using a thread chaser to clean up the Caliper threads before using the new bolts. I'm guessing you're gonna be OK. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
