Thanks for the reply, rs4max. Sounds like you had exactly the same luck with the parts diagrams as I did. Fortunately, I thought to look at the diagram for the R8 front brake (same calipers as our cars on non-carbon ceramic R8s). Since the R8 doesn't use a separate caliper carrier like the RS4 and RS5, the bolt that secures the R8 caliper to the hub is listed in the diagram/parts listing. Obviously, the non-threaded shank portion nearest the head of the bolt will be compatible as the caliper itself is identical. It will be a matter of the threaded portion at the end of the bolt working in both the R8 hub and the RS4 caliper carrier. I have ordered a bolt (part number WHT001330A) to test fit. I will make sure and update this thread for future reference when I have an answer as to the compatibility. Here is the R8 (non-carbon ceramic) front brake exploded diagram. The bolt in question is number 16:
