So I had another derp, but this one is baddddd. So I cross threaded a mounting bolt on the caliper and I couldn't afford to not be able to drive an I can't afford another caliper, so I put it in as much as I could and had to drive 3 hours to a funeral, on the way there, the bolt decided to scram and I found this out when I hit the brakes and a horrible grinding sound appeared. I pulled over slowly and was brought to a rough stop *ooooof, checked out what happened and the caliper was digging into the rim as it was half way on, out of desperation, I stole a bolt from the passenger seat bracket and stuck it in there, it's holding, but just barely, the slightest turn and it will come out with ease. So my question is, are there any cheap solutions, or do I just need a whole new caliper?
