Does anybody know the size and thread pitch of a front caliper bolt for a 1995 FWD Talon TSI?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you really have to create 2 threads? Anyway, there should be 2 bolts holding the caliper (Size 17mm) and then theres 2bolts holding the lower part of the caliper also size 17mm. Hope this helps

I didn't mean to create two threads. For some reason when I tried to post the first one, the forums logged me out and I just assumed that it didn't get posted. What I am really looking for is the appropriate size for a tap for these holes. One of the bolts has mysteriously disappeared, the bolt that goes through the support bracket and into the caliper. The hole in the caliper has rusted something awful and the bolt won't go in so I need to tap it. So if anyone knows what size tap it is would be willing to share this info would be awesome. Sorry for the double post.

Well if you are referring to the bolt that hold the lower part of the caliper to the support then the size is 17mm like I said earlier.

I need to know what size tap to get. They come in sizes like m10x1.25, m12x1.5, etc. I don't know which to get for the hole. The bolt you are referring to is the right bolt though.
