missing bolt, where can i get one

[DrkPony]

sorry, this is for a 99 Grand marquis, I was changing the brakes on the car and one of the caliper bolts is missing. Where do you get automotive bolts at? I looked at home depot. They had similiar bolts but not the right one. I think it is a m8 1.25x65 flange bolt.

dealership, junkyard, or some auto parts stores

Any autoparts store should have them.

Try Lowes

Try Lowes

I dont know if I would get a brake calipar bolt from Lowes.

I might very well be mistaken, but I dont think Lowes and places like that carry strong enough hardware.

Brakes and suspension are the last place I would want to take chances.

I definitely would not get brake hardware at a home improvement store, as monmix states. You need grade 8 hardware
I would look at junkyard, myself, And you might go to a big named brake shop, see if they have one laying around.
If a caliper comes loose, or worse, off, while you are driving, that wheel will lock up.

They sell grade 8 at Lowes but it's much easier to just to go an auto parts store and ask for caliper bolts.

On a side note, I've heard that some suspension bolts are actually grade 5 because grade 5 will bend instead of snap like grade 8 does.

My local Ace harware is the absolute best source for all bolts, grades, threads and sizes, metric and standard.

There is one Ace here in town called A&A trading post, people come from MILES and MILES around to get specialty bolts and hard to find parts from this place.

Many times I will go to the dealer if I need to look up the thread/size/and length of a bolt, their prices are not too bad either.

In Lansing we've got Mid States Bolt and Screw. I go there all the time when I need some hardware. Sometimes if it's just one bolt, they'll give it to me

lowes's didn't have it, went to pep boys they didn't have it, dealer wants $31.50 plus tax for the kit which includes bushings etc. I'm going to a giant hardware place in NJ to see if they have it.

Found it at napa $8.50 for two.
