I have a trashed Bomber fork from my Kona, but it’s not clear to me what you’re looking for. These are brake bolts? You have specs?

Apparently these are tough to find pretty much have to order them from a overseas seller and pay $30 plus shipped for a pair and then you might not get the right bolts. It seems to get parts for these older Maroochi Flywieght air forks you close to have to buy a whole fork or bike.

Looks like my Marzocchi fork has standard canti/V-brake mounts. Sorry!

I think I have a pair but don't know if they are the right ones without checking.
They really don't work very well. the movement of the fork impacts the braking performance with the movement of the cable housing.
I ended up converting to a disk which was a huge difference.

I found a pair that will work in of all places one of my junk parts bins these are off a 90's rock shock fork but close enough to work threads are a bit long but that's easily corrected and I can get some washers and top screws that will work from the hardware store if needed. For info the thread is actually M6 x1.0 about 12mm. Kinda feel a bit off finding out I had a set in my parts stuff that should work. This is nice since I really like the way this fork rides and is a bit cool, since my option B would be a Rock Shock 30 while nice is a bit clunky and heavy or lesser disk brakes. Also it keeps me on track for doing a nice low cost build this year.
