Hello fellow GZers!

Some of you might remember me from a post entitled "Front Brake Fiasco!"

I messed up completely. Cross-threaded the brake pad mounting bolt. Tried to get it out. Couldn't. Disconnected it from the brake hose and took it to a friend who is a mechanic who is going to have to drill it out. Things are not looking good.

Needless to say I need some help. I think I have three options.

1) If the mechanic saves most of the caliper can I grab any old bolt that fits and use it as my brake pad mounting bolt? I know I would have to re-thread the hole. Is this a possibility?

2) Should I just suck it up and buy a whole new caliper? Online I found one at http://www.cheapcycleparts.com. It is like 150$. Has anyone ever used this website? Is it reputable?

3) Does anyone want to donate their front caliper to me and earn karma points? :2tup:

Take care!

Dave
