Default Caliper-to-spindle bolts?
I purchase spindles and 98-02 calipers for my '95 car separately, of course neither came with the bolts to connect them to each other . Where can I pick up a set of these? I'd prefer new but Rock Auto doesn't have them and I'm not sure where else to look.

Thanks in advance

Bolt to connect the bracket to the spindle should be part number 18023646

I believe it is a M12x1.75 35mm if you wanted to get one from a hardware store to test out.

I ordered mine through the local hardware store when i did my swap.

Oh and just make sure you use the hardened ones. 10.5 was there grade on the factory bolts.

Sounds like I may have to order through a hardware store or something. GM parts direct switches the 18023646 part # which is package of 5 bolts for $2.51 + $12.95 shipping (an absolute joke) to a new "updated" 18060356 part number, which is a package of 1 for $3.95 each plus shipping. I'm not paying $28+ for 4 bolts. Local dealership wants $5.86/bolt as well.



Of course, Rock Auto doesn't have them, either.
Still need to check with the parts store.

Would you by chance be able to verify the size/thread of the bolts you ordered?

M12x1.75 35mm is correct make sure you get shoulder head bolts. if you use your plane jane bolt it will back itself out.

Awesome, thanks. Also, but forgive my ignorance, but "shoulder head" bolts just don't have threads up to the head, correct?

Like these:

Or is there something more to it?

Why would non-shoulder head bolts back out?

yes those are the correct style but the "shoulder" part of it is the ring that is right below the hex head. it backs out because it doesnt have the shoulder on it.

Nice catch on the bolts with shoulders. I should have mentioned. And yes that is the correct size.
