Bolts

The caliper bolts for the Kodiak brakes on my -08 MS 36Tk3 are stainless steel bolts. It takes an 11 mm x1.5 x3 1/8 in long bolt. If you get into a bind on the road like I did, a bolt from the front axel of a 1985-1990 Cadillac Deville will work. I got mine from a parts store.
Kodiak said it would work and it did to get me out of a jam and back on the road. Meanwhile, they have sent me the correct bolts to put on when I get back home.
Also use some lock thread on the bolts.
Kodiak is out of Fort Worth,Texas (817-284-2324). Very nice people to work with.
Torque bolt at 35-40 psi, which is snug and then add a 1/4 turn for proper torque.
Caliper holder sure did scar up the inside of my shinny wheel rim when I applied the brakes. It also locked up and smoked my back tire for a small distance.

Hope this info helps. You might want to check the tightness of your bolts before you head out on a trip.
