I don't think so.
You are going to have to find them from someone that might have some used ones to sell to you.
Original bolts are not available anywhere.
Since i rebuild these brakes as part of my business, i looked into getting these bolts, and the caliper hose mounting brackets reproduced.
It's just too cost prohibitive having someting like that done.
The machine shop gave me a quote of $10.75 per bolt, X 100 bolts. Thats $1,075.00 for bolts.
I would probably have to sell bolts at $20.00 each, by the time i paid to advertise them.
Just not worth it for such a limited market, demand, for something like that.
Nobody would be willing to pay that kind of price.
Good luck searching for them. I have a hard time coming up with them when i find disc brake set up's missing those items.

you might have to find a shoulder bolt thats close and shim it, try Mcmaster Carr, or poke around the ford forums they used them in the late 60's mustwangs

Ford caliper mount bolts don't work.
I thought of that a long time ago too.
The Ford caliper mounts to a bracket, and the Mopar caliper mounts directly onto the spindle.
Ford caliper mount bolts are 7/16 course thread, and Mopar mount bolts are 7/16 fine thread.
So they don't interchange between the manufacturers, and the thread pitch of the bolts.
I wish it was that easy, but it ain't. :sad:
