Wheel Cylinder Bolt?

I was inspecting the rear drum brakes on my car and found a leaking wheel cylinder... no big deal, pick up a new one and go to install it last night and I knew I was in for trouble when one of the mounting bolts felt too easy turn. Turns out the bolt was stripped but I was able to get it out.

Now I need a new bolt. Does anuoine know the specs on the bolt or a place I can pick up a replacement? If not I'll have to find something close at the hardware store

You can just go to the hardware store and match a new bolt to the good one.

These are extremely short bolts, so you will likely have to shorten one you buy.

They are 1/4 x 20 I believe. If you are not worried about having an original bolt then just go to the hardware store like mentioned above. I believe they are 7/16 inch in length. If the shortest they have is 1/2 then just use a flat washer with it.
