[T3] Caliper bolt locking plate

[Joe Plowick III]

I understand your point of view and I've been taking care of my cars since
I learned to drive.  In fact I had to rebuild my Squareback as my first
car.  My comment was in regards that I already had bought the caliper
rebuild pieces and have new bolts. The only thing I had forgotten to pick
up was the locking plates.  So I just didn't need those extra parts.  I'm
just going to see what my options are for a locking-type washer or some
loctite, maybe both.  The car isn't even driveable at this time, so I have
some time to figure out what I need.  :)
