Well they are semi blind - there is a bit of material which I assume is to stop an incorrect length bolt being used and fouling the disc?
Well because this is the case, my first drill and tap only went to a certain depth and wasn’t fully tapped (tap in the kit is one where the tap isn’t full for the first 1/4”
This meant that all though my Helicoil went it, it was too tight for the bolt
I removed the blind foul and tapped fully again and this time things went together better
I also cleaned up the bolts with a matching M12 1.75 die
Getting there now
I also had to replace the passenger side calliper as 1 of the 4 pistons had seized
