I jacked up my car, spun the driver's side wheel, and found that one of the<br>
bolts holding my front driver's side caliper to the car had come off.<br>
Thus, the clanging sound I heard was the caliper wobbling around. Because<br>
the noise started on the highway, there is no way I'll be able to find that<br>
bolt again -- and I don't feel bad for not searching I-280 before I drove<br>
off. So I'm down one of these.<br>
<br>
I plan to zip over to Bugformance tomorrow to see if they have a<br>
replacement for me. Are these the same as on the bug? If I cannot locate<br>
one locally tomorrow, does anybody here have a replacement they'd be<br>
willing to sell me? Also, because I plan to hit all of these with a torque<br>
wrench, what should these be torqued to?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>You might try KGPR (Karmann Ghia Parts and Restorations), or their siste<br>
company Air Head Parts, as the KG uses similar calipers to a type 3.<br>
Bugformance might have 1, but they might have to break into a kit to get you one.<br>
You're also going to need the locking plate for the caliper bolts. The<br>
torque for those bolts is 29 Ft lbs. It's an M10 bolt (no length given) The<br>
locking plate is just barely shown in Bentley, on page 18 of Brakes and<br>
Wheels, in figure 7-16, and on page 22, figure 7-27, part number 14 in the<br>
picture. I hope this helps.<br>
