I bought a set of EBC discs for my corsa on the PVD stand at todays show.I,ve just been reading the Haynes manual on how to fit them,and it says that new brake caliper to swivel hub bolts will be required.Do i really need them or can i get away with the originals?

You need to use threadlock on them, new ones are only a quid each and they have thread locking compound on them.

if you tighten them up they will be fine without thread lock!
