[s-cars] Brake Caliper to Caliper Bracket Bolts

[Wylie Bean]

Manny, 
I know in many cases a set of pads will come with replacement caliper mounting bolts. That would at least lead me to believe it's a good idea if not an absolute requirement. As far as the bolt grade, that sounds like it should be sufficiently strong, but without having any reference at hand, that's purely speculative.

Fellow S-Heads,

Are the Bolts used to secure the Caliper to the Caliper Mounting  
bracket re-usable or are they supposed to be replaced each time?

I can't really find a reference to this question in the Bentley.

I believe these bolts are supposed to be tightened to 92 ft lb /  
125Nm of torque, correct?

This is for a 993TT BBK, if it makes a difference (probably does).  
I'm not sure of the grade of bolts in a stock set-up, but my  
replacement set coming from 034 is Grade 12.9. Anyone know the stock  
bolt grade?

TIA

Manny
