Hello and welcome to the LOC.

What's happened to your old ones?

Yes they are 14mm heads but not sure on the thread size, I would think they are also high tensile.

A local engineering shop should be able to find something suitable, just take one of the caliper pins with you to match the bolts.

I have lost them When i moved. So i have nothing to match them up to. Thanks for the welcome. Need to move the car tomoro and thats whas holding me back the car is not near me at the moment. So i need to no specific sizes and also length.

M8 x 2.5

Remember that they are a Fine Thread. Your best bet is to get them from the Toyota dealer, they are a standard part used all over the car so they would most likely keep a stock of them.

...Or do what I did to get me out of a hole on a Saturday afternoon, buy a standard thread bolt and a tap and re-tap the hole for a standard metric bolt.

Im it definately wont be m8x2.5 that thread pitch is huge. A finer thread is a lower number. Im almost willing to put money on its a m8x1.25 or m8x1.5 20mm long with a 14 mm head.

Sorry mate. I got my numbers mixed up. It is definitely M8 Fine Thread and the bolt is 2.5cms long.

I think they are M8 1.0
