Is it possible to use the 10mm allen key bolts that hold the callipers to the hubs on different brakes?

I ask because i currently have v6 brakes on the gsi and will be fitting standard gsi brakes back on and want to know if i need to get new bolts.

Cheers.

7mm,

i dont see the value in changing them.
At most you need to do is apply new threadlock but tbh if they are tight they wont come undone
