I lost one of my front caliper bolts yesterday from my 97 Chim and my caliper is now moveable freely by hand, rendering my car undriveable.
I've tried several ford dealerships who are next to useless and can't find the bolt I need and I can't take one off to show them as I don't work anywhere near a Ford garage.
Does anyone have one lying around spare I can purchase? It's the 8mm head allen bolt that attaches the caliper to the hub, NOT the long slider bolt that attaches the piston housing to the caliper.
Cheers
Tony

Find a local scrapyard. There should be several going spare there.

What about phoning your local friendly TVR specialist - they often know where to get parts!

I think I've managed to source one (though not allen head) from Tower View. Most of the dealers state its a special order part from TVR due to the spacer, some also asked me to bring the old one in to match the size etc. - bit hard when I can't drive the car to get to them.
