Default caliper bracket torque specs

one of my front caliper bracket bolts loosed up on the highway and fell off. i downshifted and coasted to a stop, then got a tow home. i got the new bolt and some locktite. what should i torque this to? i dont want this to happen again.

Just use some medium (blue) locktite and pull them down real good with a 3/8 drive. Should do the trick. That all I do, having locktite is the KEY !!
