Hi Justin,

I assume you mean the (17mm spanner size) bolts that hold the caliper carrier to the strut base.

You may (if you're very, very, lucky) still be able to get them from a Volvo dealer - the part no.is 3293749 and two are req'd each side.

If you cannot get them from Volvo try a fixings or engineering suppliers you would need to ask for:- 35x12x1.75 Flange head HT bolts Grade 8.8. The factory originals are thread self locking - with replacements you would need to use a locking compound. (Loctite 241 would be the correct grade).

ATB- Mac
