The top bolt that holds the caliper bracket to the spindle is an 11/16-16 x 7/8L hex bolt. I need a 11/16-16 x 1 5/8L bolt. I was expecting to buy a longer (maybe 2"L) bolt and cut down. However, I can't find any 11/16 bolts in any size. Fastenal, McMaster, Grainger, ARP, you name it. There are wheel studs available nut that does not really get me there.
The closest I can find is a 18mm x 1.5 x 40mmL bolt. I would have to re-tap the threads but this seems to be my only solution.
Any ideas where I might find that bolt? Maybe an old tractor?
