Hi guys, was replacing front brake pads today, the guide bolt on the lower caliper shown in the haynes manual, and supplied in my brake pad box looked like this

but the bolt that came out just looked like a regular bolt and was no cut out for the other bolt shown and nothing on the caliper that looked anything like the one in the haynes manual and supplied in the box. The bolt i took out looked like this.

Since there was no place to put this bolt supplied i just used the one that came out and re-tightned after fitting brake pads

have i done something horrifically wrong here?

The bolt that came with your pads "should" be the right one to use. The bolt has 2 likes s that engage with the lower caliber pin to stop it spinning when tightening the bolt up.

I wouldn't worry too much. As long as the sliders were free and allowed the calliper to move you should be ok, and the bolt you removed is tight

I've never found anyway to fit these so they go in the spares bin for a rainy day when I need bolts of the same thread and size ... and the extra bit gets ripped off!
