1982 Tercel Caliper Bolt Size

For a 1982 Toyota Tercel (made in July '82), I have destroyed the lower caliper bolt on the front left wheel. I bought a temporary bolt (8mm x 1.25 x 60mm, #5) from Lowe's and modified it be the same length as the upper bolt. Since the original bolt is a harder bolt (#6), I went to the Toyota dealer to get a replacement. Upon giving them my VIN number, I am told that there are two different lengths for the caliper bolts on the front wheels. On top on that, they no longer manufactured the lower bolt.

So two questions:

  1. How long is the lower bolt supposed to be?

  1. Which bolt should be shorter?

Probably the same as on lower right bolt.

Probably the same as on the right side.
