Help a C4 guy with C5 brakes
I am in the middle of a C5 brake upgrade and am missing some bolts. The bolts are the ones that connect the caliper to the pins. They are #2 in the bellow image. Can anyone tell me if these are just normal 8 grade bolts? A P/N would be a big help as well so I can try to get them local. One last question and it may sound stupid but the C4s don’t use them. That is what pad does the shim go on (Plastic stick on pad), the inner or outer brake pad. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance FD2BLK

The bolts come as part of the standard C5 brake pad package from the dealer. After market pads do not provide them. You could probably get a caliper hardware rebuild kit with the pins and bolts included. The stock pads do not include any shims. Some aftermarket pads do.

Thanks guys i got it. They where just grade 8 bolts I was able to get local. They are the same ones used in early C4 applications. I already had all the pins ect.. From Chris May but bought the calipers used so the bolts wernt withthem. As for the shims, I bought GM pads from Superior chevy and Chris included a set of shims.
Again thanks for all the help heres a shot of the final product
