Is there another "regular" type bolt that I can use until I can get a new one? Size on it? 95 SE MTX svt exhaust intake deer killer

I appreciate Cowgod posting his findings, but... aren't there three more on the front calipers? You have a way to get to the store, to get a replacement, somehow... why not yank a wheel.. take one out, and match it up? Just bustin' yer yoohoos...

I was going to do that, tire was off and I was trying to get that bastard off for the life of me. STUPID HEX bolts!!!!!! 95 SE MTX svt exhaust intake deer killer
