Thanks for checking! What's that thread pitch?

'coarse'

The only torque spec in the Workshop Manual for 10mm is 1.5 thread pitch in the English and Dutch translations, but 1.25 in the German translation. Guess we'll go with the two-out-of-three consensus.

The part number does change between the early Sports (GU98623530) and the LeMans (GU98683530 )

Here is a listing for the later number:

I don't see a size change across the V11 range, @phalford. For sure your caliper mount bolts measure 8mm?

10mm bolt has an 8mm allen socket, that's likely the disconnect.

I cannot find an image of the earlier bolt, but pretty sure the only change was the finish from the earlier, black phosphate-looking bolts to the later, silver "Geomet corrosion resistant finish " . . .

Certainly, this is group of fasteners that would be unfortunate not to be torqued correctly a.k.a. "tight " . . .

The bolts in this V11 appear to the the same size as the '97 Sport and the '85 Tonti LMIV.
