So Sunday at the autocross, I managed to break or lose one of the 2 caliper mounting bolts, so as you can imagine, my front right brake is making some fun noises. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
Does anyone have a way for finding out the part number of the bolt? I went to a local Chevy dealer (after calling and being told they had it) and they couldn't find the right one. It's a normal, 12mm hexhead bolt that holds the caliper into the mounting bracket. It's probably 3-4 inches long and the bolt head faces towards the engine. You have to remove one at the top and one at the bottom (the one I'm missing) to pop off the caliper and change the brake pads. If I can't find out the Part # easily, I'm going to have to remove the other bolt and take it in so they can match it up.
Thanks in advance.

New question...will LT1 brake calipers work on an LS1. Hopefully I only need the bolt, but if it is broken inside the caliper or has stripped the threading, I will probably need the caliper off of the LT1 as well. I have a guy willing to give me the whole crossmember from an LT1, but I want to make sure it's got what I need before I take it.

I'm quite sure that no parts interchange between the LT1's and the LS1's as far as front brakes. The calipers are smaller (like the older vettes) as I remember and the rotors are 10.8 inches instead of 11.8. See if anyone else remembers the same things I do, but I believe you find this to be correct.
