So, I feel pretty dumb asking these questions but I couldn't find an answer anywhere and I'm more familiar with Hemi's and 6G72's
Numero Uno : I'm replacing the thermostat & housing. The thermostat came with two identical gaskets. Just one is sufficient right? I would assume so, but I'd rather make sure before I eff something up.
Secondly : The new thermostat housing came with a plug in place of where the sensor goes. I've tried EVERYTHING to get this damn thing out. How crucial is this sensor? Because it's looking like this plug wants to be there forever.
Pic of said plug and sensor that is supposed to take it's place:
Third: Previous owner had this piece of hose just kinda looped around. I tried a shorter piece but with the angle it just kinks up. Is there anywhere I can get the factory hose that goes here. I don't wanna half ass this car.

Fourth: I ordered a new set of OEM radiator hoses for a 1G. The bottom fit perfectly. The top....not so much. It's a good bit too long and I've tried every way to make it work except cutting it (which I don't want to do). Is this for a 2g or am I doing something wrong

Lastly : (Thank GOD!)
My poor little car is almost ready to take back out on the road, I just can't seem to find the front caliper bracket bolts to finish the brakes Anyone know where I can get some replacements? I want to go with new and stainless.
