Caliper Mount Bolt Size Needed

Caliper Mount Bolt Size Needed - 12/21/20 09:58 PM

I'm trying to track down the 4 correct bolts needed to mount my calipers to the spindle. It's a 68 year model Charger and according to MMC it should be a 9/16-13 x 3.25" large head hex bolt. I'm questioning this size due to the caliper mounting hole not not being large enough to accept a 9/16" bolt - looks more like a 1/2" would be correct size, especially when coupled with the 13 thread pattern. The 3.25" length also seems too long for this purpose. Speaking of bolt B. in this pic. Hoping someone may have their disc brake car apart to comment?? TIA

9/16" course thread bolt is 12 TPI
It might be a typo and is really a 1/2-13 bolt.

Thank you for clarifying the threads, I think it has to be 1/2". I need to get length confirmed.(no jokes please) LOL

I have seen errors in that book, and some of the aftermarket bolts carry it forward.

as stated, a 9/16 course bolt thread is a 12 tpi.
