Looking for source for bolts for rear brake dust shields …M-8 but really short.
The ones at my local Ace just a bit too long. Thanks  |

Thanks I think those are M8 x 10 or 12. If you don't want to buy Porsche, hit Belmetric. They have both. Shipping will probably cost more than the bolts. |

It just seems obvious now that you've said it. |

I always grind the ends flat and then a nice chamfer on the ends of the bolts I cut. That generally eliminates the need to re-chase the threads with a nut or something, haven’t done that in years. Of course, you need a decent bench grinder.
