Front pads replacement

[jonno_c]

Few questions ; )
Is thread locking compound needed for the caliper guide pin bolts?
And do they always need replacing ? I didn't get spare ones with the pads I have.
Cheers

some come with new bolts some don't. have done loads and used old bolts and never had a problem, always torque them up though.

Cheers @bloke.
Guessing thread locking compound isn't a must as well?

have never used it on them unless it's already on the new bolts.
