Caliper mounting bolts

[Readster]

Would you polish and copper ease these to aid caliper movement?
I have on the rear brakes as well as copper easing greasing up the handbrake mechanism.

Not that I copper ease everything you understand...just most things lol.

Not really,they get removed very rarely,have you really poilshed them

[Readster]

oh yes, steel wooled till I can see my reflection...

I think you mean the sliders mate and yes they should be polished and copper greased. Do not apply copper grease to calliper mounting bolts (the ones on the carrier), only thread lock should be applied to these

At the risk of splitting hairs we are both talking about the same part
The caliper carrier mounting bolts are the thread locked ones.

So many names for the same bit !

You mean this



Yep a good clean and some copper slip on the shaft will be fine mate. It helped my rear pads wear more evenly.
