Crap need brake help.
I am pretty sure I stripped the threads in the part I have circled. I tried the bolts from the non stripped side and no luck. So it isn't the bolts that is why I think it is the part.
Where can I get one of these?

Those dont have threads connected to that bracket...........Someone correct me if Im wrong but I believe they are sleeved insert. Try to pull out the sleeve. It should slide out. Then you can go to autozone and get a new one.

The bolts aren't stripped they worked fine on the other side it was a bitch to get the supposed stripped side bolts off that's why I think they are stripped.

they were probably cross threaded who did that last break job? some times idiots at shops will go crazy with there huge over powered impact wrenches makes them feel like more of a man i guess. will the bolts go back in with no struggle?

Yea they go right back in no problem when I have the caliper in 2 but when I go to bolt the caliper up the just endlessly spin.

Junk yard for sure. This part doesn't wear, so you don't have to worry about buying crap. Just make sure your bolts thread into it before you pay. That's the best thing to do IMO.

I figured it out today since I had light out. The caliper mount has been tapped and the bolts where heli coiled. All the old coil feel right off except for a small amount . How hard is it to do this myself and where can I get a heli coil kit at anyone?

heli coils can be tricky, I've seen kits at autozone and pep-girls I think...
it would be better to re-tap the hole and get a larger bolt imo...
