86 Vanagon. Had a front caliper bolt back out and run away. We are at Macdequac in NB. Can anyone tell me bolt specs or just drop by site 262. Hehe.
Thanks,

I have a carrier to spindle and the slider bolt I can yank out
of a van not going anywhere for awhile. I can send them out
first thing tomorrow morning using quickest shipping possible
from Mystic,CT. Pmail me if you want it. Don't worry about the
cost right now. Just want to see you get back on the road safely.

Thanks for the info and offers guys. I am fairly close to a FLAPS as well as Canadian Tire.
I'll get back with an update.

The park maintenance guy had a selection of metric bolts and one was the exact length. Both wheels off, everything checked and tightened. All good!
Samba to the rescue again!
Thanks!
Brian

What bolt was it? Carrier to hub or slider bolt? You may want to
make sure when you get home the replacement is the
proper hardness. Have fun on the rest of your vacation.
