i've read that these need 30Nm. but that feels very light for such a core bit of kit.  even though the bolts are H7 heads.  

 

anyone know the right torque setting for these please? 

 

25Nm I believe.

They only locate the caliper,  all the braking force is via the pads into carrier parts of wheel-bearing housing casting.

H6 on FSII bolts,  not H7.

Yes indeed in the hex size. My mistake. 

 

Feels like they do more than locate the caliper though.  They keep it on the hub against the disks as well!

 

 

Well the caliper slides back and forth freely on the guides, the bolts just hold the guide tubes square-on, parallel to piston movement. There's no side force on the guide tubes or bolts. The pad metalwork bears on the 'arms' of the wheel bearing housing, taking all the rotational forces.
