68 Caliper bolts

I'm looking for a source for the bolts that attach the caliper to the stabilizer bracket and the spindle. There are 4 per side, two long ones, sometimes called pins, about 2" long with threads only on the 1/2" closest to the head of the bolt. The others are 1 1/2" with a small head.

I've tried Mustangs Unlimited and AMK products with no luck. Any other suggestions?

I could not source them either, I had to make them myself on a lathe using grade 8 bolts of the proper over all length

Do you mean these?

I haven't found the smaller ones yet, but I am sure given enough time I can. Nice thing about the 68 calipers, they share parts through 73, spindles and rotors are different I think, but the calipers are all similar.

Yes, those are the pins. NAPA has those but not the smaller ones. And wouldn't you know it, my pins are not too rough and could be reused, but the smaller ones are rounded off pretty bad. Someone used red locktite on those threads and lots of it. Even with heat it was a bear getting them off. Thanks for tracking those pins down and I hope you find the smaller ones too!!
