    Yup you'll need these special bolts which have a wider shoulder to fit M16's to the Billie-which i bought for my Billies after i got a new Wilwood brake kit-only to find out the Wilwoods bracket takes a normal 7/16th bolt.....

    So if your fitting standard brakes they need a shoulder-if aftermarket brakes check the mounting holes first as a standard bolt might fit.

    I think the std 7/16 unf bolt should do as i'm fitting a set of AP's and will be using mounting brackets. Cheers guys!
