I know but I really think like the look with the rims I'm buying. Plus one day might upgrade the engine. One day.

Think he ment the thread on hex head bolts plus caliper bolts are fine thread.

they do make both fine thread and course thread bolts in the UK don't they?
But I've not seen any hex on Landrover calipers only multi point of coarse you can get hex head in various thread sizes but then Again I don't know of many hex heads in modern day calipers usually as above Allen head or torq

Ford, GM, Dodge. Years ago they came out with the Torx55, Allen heads, and 12 point star thing and was lots of problems . mechanics independent and dealers mechanics bitch to there union and things got back to Hex head bolts. And now replacements are back to hex. Just changed my pads on Me Ford on friday hex bolt, copper slip on threads from last time I did them and came right off, About 80K on the pads still had 1/8-3/16 left of old pad.
Bet if you took them Bi hex heads you can match up a Grade rated bolt , As the threads are what you are wanting to match.

Most bolts can be interchanged yes if regular checks servicing is carried out then caliper siezed bolts should be uncommon
I like to free things up and do checks those that wait until they Actually need to are the ones that have the problems could take 5 years or more before a caliper had been removed due to pad worn with a car that does low milage .
When it all got changed it would **** you off if you were having to buy more tools
on cars that you didn't own

caliper bolts are dowel fitting so shank is so designed length and diameter,because of the shear forces involved when breaking ,they are non std pitch so that you dont fit a std bolt
All I know I can go to any auto parts store and get replacements over the counter. I would never think about going to a hardware store or general nut and bolt shop

Yes like these the shank with no thread is the support but a hex of the same size quality and steel strength would be. Adequate

I rebuilt with a kit and had a few problems. Would have been better to get exchange which are very reasonable, particularly at MM4X4

If I were to buy a vented set through paddocks, would i have to get new calipers?
The part number is FTC902SD.
