Stock hardware is being used. Bolts are stripped, cleaned, and inspected before reuse. All threads chased with a die to ensure they are clean and problem free. I have yet to run into any quality issues with reusing the M12 8.8 bolts on the halves. The M6 hardware fastening the pad cleats is all replaced with 316 stainless hardware and blue (med) lock tight. (see photo)
M12 caliper half bolts were lightly coated with copper anti seize (to reduce galvanic corrosion and safeguard against stripping threads) and torqued to 55ft/lbs. A copy of the torque wrench calibration certificate will be provided with each kit.
Torque information reference for those curious:

I had my structural engineer run the numbers and we came out with close to the same numbers for this application. Also determined anything over 80ft/lbs would be potentially stripping threads out.
Thanks for the look!
