Hey guys, I just lost a caliper bolt on some corrugation. Anyone know the size of that fella? Or is that not something I'll find at a parts/hardware/tractor store.

thanks!
M12x1.25
Basically any disc brake LC caliper will work through 2007.

Napa carries M12x1.25 that was the right length and it fitted fine incase someone reads this needing a quick solution.
I did order a few OEM replacements so I'm not doubting old or low quality caliper bolts when on trails.

Has anyone ever attempted to plug weld the hole and re-drill and tap to the correct size? Is welding on a cast steel part like this not advisable? I'm doing a knuckle rebuild currently and had the same issue with one of the caliper mounting holes stripped out from previous owner and it was drilled to take a 1/2" bolt. I'm putting on new calipers and would rather not drill them out for the larger bolt size. Just exploring options, seems like the heli-coil is the common fix.
I didn't watch this whole video but there might be something to be learned.
A lot of folks use TimeSerts over Heli-coil for this application. I was worried that drilling and tapping for 1/2" would be larger than what the insert would need, but I think not. I used a "perma-coil" for one of mine that was stripped. To install the coil you first need to drill a 31/64" hole, which is already bigger than 1/2".
