Please also check the pitch of the thread. Jap 10mm bolts are not compatable with european ones. as they use a 1.25mm (fine) pitch whereas europeans use a 1.5mm pitch.

Thanks for the warning; I ended up collecting the bolt in my girlfriend's car, so haven't used the s/s one.
Back brake is moving when I press the lever, but not enough to usefully (although you can notice it) slow the bike. To be fair, the caliper did get banged about a bit being fitted. I'm hoping the slight top up of brake fluid (was nearing the low line, in spite of the garage allegedly doing it 3000 miles back
) coupled with leaving the back brake depressed for a few hours should sort it. Anything else I should check/try (doesn't appear to be a leak in the fluid anywhere/no kinks in the hose)?
