240D caliper bolt re-use?
I have to change the brake pads in my 82 240D, and am having a hard time finding replacement caliper bolts. The manual says that you should only use the bolts once (they seem to have some sort of self-locking glue in them). I can't seem to find any locally (I suppose I could drive 45 minutes to the dealer and get some), but I was wondering about re-using them, maybe with some high temperature threadlock. Is this a bad idea, or standard practice? Thanks for any info..
