Default Caliber bolt!!

I was on the highway and I heard a loud CLUNK, so i think prolly just hit something so I drive about 10 more miles and as i'm braking into the parking space at the grocery store I heard the clunking noise again. Except this time it was doing it constantly with or w/o brakes. So I looked at the front wheel to find the bolt that holds the caliber in place fell out and the caliber was rubbing against my rim!! Luckily I had a bolt kit in the trunk one came close to fitting but was too small so I wrapped it in tape just to make it a bit bigger to get to my house which was only 4 miles away. So I used the handbrake the whole way home.. Gahh can you order this bolt from a normal parts store or only from the stealership??

Just get one from Toyota, you dont want it happening again do you? Also, look into who worked on your brakes last, and never go back there again. Something like that should never happen unless someone does a shi*ty job working on the braking system

Brakes were done before I bought the car, I do the work all by myself with my dads helped (auto tech for 20+ years) oh yeah and the ****ing threads are stripped!! So looks like i'll be buying a caliper bracket.
