Brake hardware kit?

I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get a brake pad hardware kit for a 85 gs? I have two new sets of pads that said they came with hardware but neither of them did and I cant find a set anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I ran into the same problem and was unable to find replacement hardware. I ended up having to clean up and reuse the old stuff. If you do find them, please post where you got it from.

will do, I found an old set from a guy parting out a car on here that was the only place I could find them. Good news if you have a spare $1,100 techno toy tuning just released a micro big brake kit for the Sa they said the 84-85 Fb big spindle kit is coming very soon.😁

J9 has the right idea here.

You will pay a big premium to get the original brake hardware but it's worth it.

For my last couple of brake jobs I've reused the old Mazda hardware instead of the crappy kits I bought for the job.

I'm not rich enough to buy brand new Mazda brake hardware.

But I've recovered enough pieces from my rebuilds to have a good supply of used hardware.

The used stuff is much better than the new stuff.

These may not be factory even though they list the factory number.
