neither stainless or copaslip your just adding more differentialsdaft question is it better using stainless steel bolts instead of the steel ones to try and prevent the electrolysis issues or simply coppaslip ??

I'm going to cable tie it on.
why dry or stud locksurely there not put in dry are they , ie what about ceramic grease ??
must admit i’ve always used coppaslip on caliper bolts
I'm gonna say BS unless you put a scientific linky up to the contrary,neither stainless or copaslip your just adding more differentials
Ok, yeah, Gonna look on the bay for a kit,
even if I just get this repair out of the way I'll be happy to have the rest of kit handy, even if I never use it.

Sorry bud, I thought you'd you had something concrete to quash my stance,you can say what you want,no skin of my nose,take or leave any advice
caliper bolts like many come encapsulated ie pre stud locked, corrosions issues are with bolt heads or lengths of thread poking out on the other sidesuppose would it also depend on what the manufacturer specifies , ie if thread lock is to be used or not
thinking about it, would the thread lock indeed keep moisture out and therefore preventing ingress of water onto the bolt ??

Not in this case, bolts don't protrude in this installation hence the complete lack of rust on the bolts, even the end grain is rust free.
Heads are also corrosion free.
I've never heard the term...pre stud locked, what does it mean?
oil or std grease is perfect for thosecheers , well just checked what is req for my D3 and says to use blue thread lock on caliper bolts
but must admit have always used new caliper bolts, normally come with pads , well useto anyway , where i’ve not seen threadlock on them i’ve indeed used the coppaslip
also read an article about using small rubber caps on the end of bolts where they protrude, but there suppose to be useless as they can also trap water
