Is the length of recessed brake nut dependent on the frame/forks or the brake caliper?
The combination of the two. Retail packed Shimano calipers come with three lengths, so there will be plenty floating about in people's parts bins. You need to use the depth measuring function of your Vernier /digital caliper to work out which size you need, allowing for a minimum of 6mm thread engagement

Is the length of recessed brake nut dependent on the frame/forks or the brake caliper? Bought some ultegra brakes off ebay and they didn't come with the nut and shimano sell like 8 different sizes. Side question, anyone know somewhere that sells them for less than a fiver a nut?
