Broke a bolt.. cheapest replacement?
#22
Specialty fasteners in automotive applications tend to be configured a little differently than the off-the-shelf stuff found at most retail consumer hardware sources, and there is some question just how good the Chinese-sourced "Grade 8" or "10.9" stuff really is.
Edit and FWIW, Seeing the word "cheapest" in the title of any thread (no matter what it's going to be about) makes me cringe before I even get to the end of the title.

can anyone help me track down this part online?
I went to ford, it's going to cost over $70 since those screws only come in a package with the caliper, and thus don't have their own part number, according to the guy in the parts dept. I tried to find the fastenal place, but all I could find was offices and stuff, I don't think it's there anymore. Lastly, I went to o'reilys as a last resort, and the guy sold me a pair of the pins and the bolts, I just needed to transfer the rubber boot. Turns out that pin is too big, so I'm going to have to return it and I'm back to square one.
