I fucked up the threads on the brake caliper bracket, tried repairing it but didn’t go well. Need another one but it doesn’t even have an OEM number and I would need to get the whole set which is ridiculous. What should I do?

Part is from rear right brake caliper bracket, Acura Integra GS-R (1998) Coupe

    Hit the junkyard, ebay, or pay $$$$$$$$$$ for the full assembly. For something from 1998 I think you’ll be able to find a replacement - you may be able to find other cars that use the same OEM# of the assembly to widen your search a bit.

    You also might be able to take the part to a local machine shop and get it repaired there. Some of the machine shops out there can do black magic compared to what’s possible in a garage.

      yeah, a machine shop would be a great idea especially if it’s imported as OP stated. they should be able to re-tap the threads as long as he didn’t completely destroy the caliper.
