DO NOT USE TITANIUM!!!

I put some Ti caliper mounting bolts in my Brembo monoblocs - after just 1 week, I managed to get three out - the head of the fourth cracked and 7 drills later it was still stuck on there!!!

Had to buy a cobalt drillbit - when it did come off - I found out that the bolt had seized on just the HEAD!!!!

This happened even though the bolts were thoroughly greased before putting them in.

Use Stainless - just to be safe.

PS - the Ti bolts were bought from ProBolt.
