Is the Fiero store our only option for these bolts? I don't mind ordering them, but if I can get these locally, I can replace the caliper that split in two by tomorrow. I know, 74 ft pounds and locktite. The brakes have not been touched since we purchased the car. Surprised we went two years before this one finally backed out. Scary stuff!

Yes. only option unless you find a good used one.

I bought 8 from TFS for spares. Nice bolts.

People...Remember when you find an 88 Fiero in a junk yard near you- Go get the brake calipers/hardware/etc- don't let these items go to the crusher. If I had an 88 I would want a whole spare front and rear subframe. As it is, I swapped out my 85 rear for an 88 and it also has the 88 brakes all around- I have two full sets of spare brakes I picked up from the JY- Cheap insurance considering the brake companies have stopped carrying the 88 brakes...

Luckily i had hung onto a pair of 88 front calipers for our other car. Never dreamt this would happen. The broken caliper still looks new on a cared-for formula with 70k miles. What a shame. I have a hoard of 84-87 parts, but little to handle 88 only. I may yet visit Fastenal for a last ditch effort, but with little hope. What a shame.

I appreciate the feedback. I do trust the FieroStore to stand behind their product, I just had hopes of a finished task sooner.

You can buy the bolts with an Allen head vs. Torx through McMaster.

Same bolts are used for the rear 88 caliper as well.
