New Caliper bolts needed? 83 300TD

I'm rebuilding the front end and in the process have removed the front calipers. Do I need to install new mounting bolts when I reinstall the calipers? Or can I safely clean up the old ones, coat them with locktite and re-use them?

Thanks,
Jim

Old ones are fine. I have replaced several calipers over the years and have always used the original bolts. In fact I do not remember new bolts coming with the rebuilt calipers.

I personally have never replaced these bolts with new. Just a new coat of locktite should be fine. I have never had one of these bolts come loose......Rich

be sure you use LOCTITE... the blue should be fine, not the red.

not ANTISIEZE/NEVERSIEZE...

Thanks all. I figured it should be OK. I'll use the blue.
