C5 brake swap bolts question

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to install my C5 brakes in the next week or two and I want to make sure I have all the hardware I'll need before I get started, so help from anyone who has done this would be appreciated.
My first question is about the banjo bolts. I've found the part numbers in some other threads but I can only find them being sold with the line or as part of a kit. Anyone know where I can just buy the bolts?
My second question is about the bolts that mount the caliper bracket to the spindle. I'm assuming I will need longer bolts, as they will be running through the new bracket and and into the spindle now. Any idea on what length/thread pitch bolts I will need for this? Also, what grade bolts should I be looking for here?
Thanks

For the banjo bolt do know if the thread size is m10x1.0? If so go back to your parts store and order a dorman banjo bolt part # 13912. Don't say it's for an fbody but a 05 chevy tahoe 2wd it should be under as a rear banjo bolt. That's how I got the bolt for my c6 calipers through autozone, I was looking for months to find it.
This is what I believe you are looking for http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...8_173040_6064_
Also mention when they look it up there will be a couple there will be a couple bolts thats cheaper but they are the wrong size. You want the specific part number 13912 they were 10.99 each, expensive but that's all that fits.
