[DeTomaso] Caliper bolts--when was the last time you checked?

[bill gaino]

I had a bolt fall out because I failed to bend the tab after service. It scared the crap out of me. I found a smaller bolt to hold things in place until I got to a shop with the right size. I made my own locking tabs, after mine were worn out. It is important to keep these bolts in!   Bill{ craped his pants} 1362
