Missing brake caliper bolt

After an hour road trip I came back into town where the speeds are lower, I noticed a clunking coming from under the hummer. Freaking out I drove home and took everything apart just to realize the passenger brake is missing the lower bolt

I'm hoping I didn't break anything as a result, but everything looks fine. Where can I get another bolt?

Or try O'really or pep boys if you guys have them....they sell calipers for the 3 so I'm sure they have bolts. Autozone carries calipers too

Your also missing the clips on the rods that hold the brake pads in! When I was driving my wife's H3 home from the dealership they had just changed the brake pads, but when I got home I found 3 out of the four front rods about to fall out due to missing clips. I quickly modified the rods by drilling them out just enough for small cotter pins to fit. Now I never have to worry about them falling out and jamming into the rim at 70MPH.

Do you have a Fastenal nearby? Oreilly's or Auto Zone carry some bolts, just take one with you to compare.

I have brought these bolts from amazon at a very good price point in the past. I've got an extra one if you need it let me know.
It is used but no major problems with it.

Or you can always take a used H3 for a test drive "wink" "wink" lol j/k. Order the bolt, and please get some pins/clips for your brake caliper guide pins!!! They can fall out and cause some nasty damage to your rims.
