Hi Bob,
I don't know where the M16P label came from, as I've never heard of it,
I was referring
to the late 72 on (PB Caliper as I've known it) Caliper as having 12 mm..
mounting holes.
That is the Metric Caliper. That's what's special about the Bolts, mounts a
Metric Caliper
with it's 12 mm.through holes, to an Upright with 7/16-20 UNF threaded
holes.
Regards,
Wayne Lee
