the bolts that go in those holes are used to bolt the brake fluid line bracket onto the caliper. Its a C shaped bracket on the rear lines. Perhaps they are still with the car and the bracket? Most people never sent the bolts to me when they sent calipers for coating.

Are they for anything specific or can I just go to a hardware store and buy a bolt that'll plug it?

Yes there are supposed to be bolts in those holes.

you definitely want to retap the threads and get a replacement bolt.

I think you will have to order from Fastenal to get the proper length caliper bolts. Those long ones won't be available off the shelf anywhere.

Oops looks like I didn't see this post. Okay well I'll try looking again. Anyone have a picture so I know what I'm looking for?

Just an update

Finally got the calipers back together. Got the new bolt from a machine shop, and also the place that I got the powdercoat done with finally got all the pieces cleaned out. Put everything together and its now on the car. I will update with picture when I get home.

Thanks to all that helped. I went from rotating tires, to installing brakes and flushing brake fluid. Not something I would of thought I'd ever do myself, but this forum is a huge help.
