I was trying to take the rotor to see if I could get them turned. anyways, I was putting it back on and as soon as it even got snug it just snapped. Where do i find a new one? I checked ebay and did searches but come up with nothing??

Also, I love how a company pays to have an add running at the top of this site and the link doesnt work (rx8store) haha

If its a BOLT you should be able to get at auto parts store. Take a pic and show us.

Bolt number 2. The one that holds the caliper to the bracket. None of the auto parts stores local have it. The only one I can find is one autopartswarehouse.com and its 7 bucks with 5.50 to ship it. kinda steep for a single bolt. Just checking to see if there were any other options

I need bolt #2 also. I see the numbers by it, but I don't know what any of it means. What do I need to tell a store to see if they have one to match at anyplace around here?

I just snapped that one last week and had to get a replacement from my Mazda dealership. They were going to have to order it for like 10 bucks or so, then I asked if they could check around in the shop and sure enough, they had one - FREE - plus, that let me finish the brake job that afternoon and not have my 8 (daily driver) out of commission waiting on one bolt.
