While doing the rear brakes, I discovered
that the bolts that attach the rear calipers to the abutment bracket on my '96 TA are the same as the ones used on C5 front calipers.
The same length, thread pitch and head size.

You might also note that the floating piston design and abutement bracket are the same general design as the PBR-designed C5 front caliper.
The rear caliper is also aluminm... unlike the iron caliper used up front in LT1's.
C5's a much better match IMO.
