Good afternoon guys, after an extended period of frustration, I am reaching out for help. I bought an Akebono BBK from a yard in Florida (that has been no help), and after having the four calipers sitting in a box for a month, I realized that one of the front calipers is missing a bolt. Of course not the mounting bolts that connect the caliper to the hub assembly, but one of the bolts in the clamshell. If you were going to split the caliper for a rebuild, there are four bolts, two with an "L" stamped into the head, and two with an "S" stamped into the head. I need one of the "L" bolts, and they have been impossible to source. Please help...

 

If you can't find a part number, then take the one bolt you have to Fastenal.

Or figure out the dimensions on your own and buy it online from a place like Pro-Bolt USA.

 

I tried Fastenal, Akebono here and Japan, and a dozen other resources, I will try Pro Bolt USA.

 

To bad you dont have place like arrow bolt near me. They carry all kinds of hardware you can order from them online arrow bolt in euless tx

 

Thanks guys, I will have to determine the actual specs of the bolt, then try your suggestions. I got frustrated when I did the same thing in person at a Fastenal location, and they couldn't source the bolt.

 

Call arrow bolt they will have it. 817-267-3611. You might as well get all new ones along with any other odd bolts like for maf sensor or shock bottoms.
