Ok, so I picked up a marzocchi z.150 and a front wheel with a Hayed/Dt swiss 20mm hub on it. Hooray. The problem I'm having is that to put on the brake calipers on the fork, I have to put like 13 shims in order to make the disc fit in when I put the wheel on (see picture below). The problem now is that the bolts that hold the housing onto the fork arent long enough.... Do they make longer bolts for the calipers, and is it something I can get from Lowes or home despot or anything? THanks!

Neither Lowe's nor Home Depot has a very good selection of metric/stainless steel cap bolts , but you could try. If you know the size you need you could order something through QBP. This place has the catalog online.

That depends largely on your local Home Depot. I've had a lot of luck with finding metric bolts at all my local Home Depot. While you're at it, may want to just buy one or two larger 5mm washers so when and if you need to remove the caliper it won't be such a pain.

Good to know. I'd written them all off.

Cool, thanks monkeys! I'll give them a try.

Zoke includes some thick washer/spacers with their manuals for set up like this...

 

[Shimano Support]

We do make a longer bolt if you are interested in keeping genuine Shimano parts. It was designed for an old Deore post mount caliper and it is 24.5 mm compared to the 20 mm ones that came with the BR-M755 that you have pictured there. The Shimano part number is Y8C509010 and your local shop can order it for you.

Your LBS probably has a whole bin full of M6 bolts. Try that.
