    I am about to put together an LS1 brake setup on my brother's GTP and I want to drill and tap the caliper bracket rather than having to sleeve the spindle. Can anyone tell me what the thread type is for that bolt? I don't have the bolt off the car yet since he is driving it, and it would be nice to have the bracket already drilled and tapped so I can just bolt it on.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Brother 1: 1998 Grand Prix GT 2-door - 3.8L SC and 5-spd manual swap coming soon
    Brother 2: 2000 Grand Prix GTP 4-door - stock until he learns to stop breaking his junk.

    Np, finding the tap is probably going to be the pain point.
