On the fowlers drawing there is the securing bolt for the caliper or a pin for the pads,I wouldnt use just any old bolts on brakes I would get the correct ones to be on the safe side

Don't think its a threaded bolt, just a pin with a hex type head, it's held in via a sneaky circlip hidden under the plastic pad cover, a bit hard to see as it's bent 90 degs as well. this is from memory, so could be completely wrong  |

Yep same as FZ750 there is an angled R clip inside the caliper that holds the pins in
