parts just flyin' off!

well, I finally stopped that infernal rattling in my suspension.... but it seems I have some other problems.
there was a regional car show in town this past weekend -"slammin' and jammin' "... anyway, I'm on my way there, and my car decides to eject the upper bolt that holds my brake calliper on!
the bolt that you only have to loosen to rotate the calliper upwards...say if you were changing your pads. and of course I cannot find it on the road anywhere. so I miss the show, and drive home slowly. the last time I worked on the brakes was a good 2 months ago....and I'm possitive I tightened them all to specs.

my reason for posting is to see if anyone happens to have a spare one liying around...I'll gladly pay through the nose
thanks in advance.

well, I've searched all the local parts shops trying to find this bolt... they can order a bolt package for about $30... no gaurantee the one I need is in there. I also called the closest toyota stealership... they said they could get it.... for $25!!
a $25 bolt!??

does anyone know if the front brakes on a 92-95 camry are the same design as the 2nd gen mr2? my reason for asking... there are NO mr2's at any of the junk yards in TN.. plenty of camrys though.

I'm not sure.. I noticed my passenger side motor mount was actually CRACKED!!!! it had broken from the bottom where the two 14mm bolts attatch it to the body.... fortunately I had a spare lying around the garage from a spare engine.. swapped it out and ... man... it idles like a smooth mother! went to a junkyard today and found the same bolt from a camry (91)... I have not yet installed it yet.. but I got a feeling it'll work
