Default Where to find new brake caliper bolt???

Fucking thing snapped as soon as it started to get snug. Where can I find a new? I Checked ebay and stuff but not having much luck?? Is there a standard thing for most cars or are they car specific?

parts store, they will either have it as a hardware kit or just the bolt it self.

Is it something special, or are we talking a standard hex-head bolt here? Autozone sells little kits of miscellaneous bolts if its not some crazy special custom one-off thing.

he couldn't take the time to call around and ask if places had bolts, you think he's actually going to pull it himself?

I had the same problem and I lucked out and found an EF with intact brakes. I can garuntee you that if you took the bolt from the intact side and took it to home depot you could easily find a grade 8 bolt exactly like the one your looking for!
