True. But that bolt is bent. I have another set of calipers I robbed for the rear.

As for the file, that'll be the end of the so-called plating on these things, and the beginning of rust. More effort then it is worth.

Weeeelll.....I showed my ignorance when I made that comment. I had not disassembled a Campa caliper prior to this so I did not realize just how they went together. I ended up not pulling the trigger on the pivot bolts and I am going to use the front from the other nutted set to make things work. I had bought the set to use on this project anyway and only later found the second set that will save me more effort and $$$. You will see what I am referring to when the project is done.
