LT1 owner in the middle of a Ls1 front brake conversion -- missing some pieces Hey guys -- thanks in advance...
So I am in the middle of an LS1 front brake conversion on my 97 formula. I have the spindles, new ball joints, cotter pins, and hubs on -- no issues.
Unfortunately, the conversion kit sat on the floor of my basement for over two years and I have lost the bolts that mount the caliper bracket to the spindle (the "C" shaped deal) and the bolts that mount the calipers to the "C" shaped brackets.
Can some one tell me what I need for hardware to finish the install? I need bolt size and thread pattern and how many to buy. AGAIN! Thank you in advance!

The two larger bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket are 12mm x 1.5 x 60mm. The four that hold that bracket to the spindle are 10mm x 1.25 x 60mm. Doing the conversion now too, I didn't get any of these with my parts. I took the stock spindle bolts and the caliper bracket to HD and found the sizes needed.
