For the brake IRS brake calipers, FFR suggests the M12-1.75 x 45MM 12 POINT bolts in one of the caliper connections.
I did not get those bolts.
I have been to various fastener dealers and they do not have the 12 point.
Can I substitute regular 6 point bolts? Does it matter?

I don't see why a 6 point wouldn't work, but for what it's worth, I bought the correct bolts from Rockauto.com. I ordered rear calipers bolts for a 2018 Mustang GT. I think they were about $4 each.

I think they recommend them because the offer more clearance for the parking brake cables.
