Caliper Bracket Bolt specs

Does anyone know the exact size and thread of the 2 large bolts that holds the front caliper brackets to the spindle?
Thanks

Not exactly floating around in my head. I have front race brakes and had a bolt left over from my factory brakes to measure.

Yeah, good luck finding them anywhere...at least alone. They are Grade 8. I lost one ONE THE ROAD one day and was luckily near an auto parts store when it happened. It took me three days to actually find a replacement bolt, out of a junkyard.

My local dealership had them in stock ... almost $4 each, though!

Just want to clarify here for safety reasons. The bolts are metric so if you pick up non-stock bolts, make sure you get Property Class 10.9. This is the metric equivalent (ISO R898) to the Standard Grade 8 (SAE J429) designation. If you get metric Class 8.8's by accident they will be notably weaker (equivalent to Grade 5).
