Just got all my stuff from the junk yard, ended up spending 85 for everything minus pads and rotors. The down side is its a yard where they pull everything, and the guy forgot the bracket bolts. Just wondering will the original bracket bolts work?

The caliper pins are different you can get a set at the auto parts store

the bolts that holed the bracket are 14mm x2.0 thread 44mm long

Heads up, for convenience Advance Auto sells the calipers WITH BRACKETS... not that im dogging AZ's junk.. but AAP sells them semiloaded, everything in the box sans pads.... buy them online and usually you can receive a discount

The original g body calipers do not use a bracket, so that would be no.

I had a feeling you would tell me something like that, I have yet to do the brakes on the car before so had no idea. Ahh well, time to locate some grade 8's I guess, just prefer the original hardened steel
