Stripped Parking Brake Caliper bolt

One of the two 13mm bolts that hold the Parking Brake caliper has its head stripped.

You think I can get a replacement at the local Jag dealer Parts Dept??

Yes, but first try to match it at your local auto parts store before submitting to the wrath of Jags inflated fees.

Normally I would agree, but a caliper bolt may be rated for higher stresses than most other bolts in the car. I would go for OEM on this one for safety.

I think it is pn C2C6746 here : http://www.gaudinjaguarparts.com/par...&siteid=214626, about 5 bucks.
