I ordered stainless steel brakes, but now the vendor wants to know if I want M10x1.0 or M10x1.25 bolts. I have searched the service manual and only came up with M6 thread size, but conversion charts show that it can be either. So what thread size should I get for the bolts or is there any difference between the two sizes?

Should be a 1.25. Its a finer thread than the 1.0

I just made some "thread plugs" and matched the stock caliper bolts to a 1.25 tap ((to close off my SS lines when rebuilding the calipers(so the master cylinder doesn't bleed out-hopefully, just a little easier))
