There is. But buying 2 rear long bolt brakes means that the bolt will be short enough to use with a recessed nut in front. Or if you look at the option for using a long bold and nt, I suggested using a drilled out recessed nut as an adapter for the rear hole.

So, it's ALMOST that simple, just not quite that simple.
