You want to replace the bolts with anodized ones? As in anodized aluminum alloy ones? If that is the case then I will tell you that I do not recommend this.
They're M5X10 bolts.

Disc Brake Bolts
Good after noon this happy Tuesday. I was wondering if any of you would know they dimensions and info on the size bolts I would need. I want to get some anodized ones.
I am running BB5 on a Gary Fisher Marlin Disc.
I would like to get the bolts that hold the discs on. Any one know.

Blue colored high-strength fasteners do this job on my wheels. Made from metric grade 10.9 alloy steel, size M5 x 10. Mine are button head style, standard cap heads are also available. They have a distinctive bright blue finish. They're cheap and look great too. :thumbsup:

They don't round-out if torquing hard to back-out a stuck bolt. The material is much stronger than typical stainless steel fasteners. Use a good quality hex key always.

aluminium has a tendency to fail when you need it most. i.e. you end up with a bad day.New to MB said:Why don't you recommend them
Generally, you need more aluminum to get the same strength as steel. With bolts, the dimensions are fixed...
The last thing I want to have fail on my bike are the brakes, especially while trying to stop on a big downhill section of trail. Aluminum does not have the shear strength of steel. That's good enough reason for me.
got it so can I get blue bolts in steal or ti
The blue bolts that shif recommended would work great for this application.
