Brake Problem

To make a long story short, my front driver side caliper is having bolt withdrawl issues... So I was wondering if any of you guys who have upgraded brake/ have extra parts might have the 2 14mm bolts that hold the caliper to the support bracket. Mine seemed to have run off. PM me ASAP if you do.. **** im gonna call you about it today when I get time. Thanks guys!

You might be able to find them at City Mill or at Home depot if you got a ride,..I think its grade 5.5 bolts and I think regular pitch,..correct me if Im wrong anyone,...

If you got the bolts,..bring em with you and see what pitch and size you need by threading them to nuts they have in the bins,..

And if you can't find it there....you can usually find it @ Hawaii Nut and Bolt in mapunapuna...

More than likely its a metric bolt size example M8 M10 M12 .... then you'll need the pitch 1.25 or 1.5 usually then length in MM....

Even though it doesnt solve my immediate problem of getting to work, I just ordered subaru 4-pots and SS brake lines. I know you had this set up on your RS Justin so I was wondering if you or even **** can help put them in when I get em. Let me know thanks guys.
