Hey everybody just ordered a LS400 BBK, I wanted to know what the part number was for the caliper bolt that you need for the swap. I read the stock SC bolts have to be modified. I would like to buy the LS400 caliper bolts.
Is it 47710A or 47781B? Tried searching, no luck, Diagram below

Thanks Doug

Search harder. I posted up the part number not too long ago.

probably cheaper to just go to an Ace Hardware store and test fit the right bolt in the calipers's threading, rather than pay the Stealership an arm/leg for some "Lexus" bolts.

thats what i did when i swapped the Brembo brakes on to my Mitsibishi Galant from an Evolution.

Hmmm...I seriously doubt most local hardware stores have the right length, AND the right hardness, AND the right head profile, METRIC bolt.

^^ You'd be surprised. My friend needed new control arm bolts for his Tacoma, so he just went to the home depot and they had what he needed.

I used a washer on one of the bolts. Worked fine.

Last time I checked at the "depot", they didn't have hardened, anodized (weather-able), flanged head, metric bolts.

Just because it fits, doesn't mean it's right; there's more to it than that.

My home depot is very limited on metric bolts. I always go to Ace for the harder to find stuff though.


The bolt is only $1.40 each at the Toyota dealer anyways. The difference in price is so small, it's worth the convenience.

Agreed, last time a looked at bolts that size and pitch at HD, Lowes, they were around that price. You won't save much, go to Toyota and you'll have the proper ones.

Even when i bought mine at the Lexus dealership they were only like $1.25 apiece. Pass on the hardware store and be sure you're getting the proper grade.

Ace has Metric bolts in all threads in grade 10.9 which if I am not mistaken, is better than Toyota grade 8.8.

Checkmate.

but just get it at toyota since you already have your mind set

Ace bolts > Toyota bolts

The OEM bolt is grade 8.8 for a good reason. This is one of the case where greater isn't always better What are you guys torquing your bolts to?
