Does anyone know of a source for the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts for an '87 C4? I have looked online and can't find them for that year, only newer years. Last night I was torquing my old bolts and snapped one off. I know I shouldn't have to buy new but at this point I just want to go that route.
I was using permatex blue. It was very strange, I was gradually increasing torque. The bottom bolt tightened up like you would expect. I got to about 90 ftlb. The top bolt was tight but kept turning and not "clicking" the wrench at 90. I was worried about my torque wrench so I kept going back to the bottom bolt to make sure my wrench was working and it would "click" indicating I was at 90. Sure enough eventually I heard the dreaded "SNAP" and the bolt broke. 125 ftlb is a lot for those little bolts so I would like to just go with all new ones. Now I am going to have to buy a new bracket most likely as well since the bolt broke off in it. I will try getting the stud out but well see.
Thanks everyone, the forum has been so helpful!
