Front Brake Caliper Bracket Bolt Size and Pitch

One of my 22mm caliper bracket bolts snapped today when removing it to do a wheel bearing. Unfortunately you can't get a new bracket without being a whole new caliper. I tried drilling it out but I'm at the max if I was to salvage and retap the bracket's thread.

Does anyone have the specs of the bolt size and thread pitch? I'll pick up a new high-grade bolt and a tap to match, it'll be the easiest solution, but until then, I have no truck until I can get this info. It's the upper bolt that snapped, and there's not enough threads so I can't confirm if they're both the same or not...

the bolts are going to be a dealer only part, and it is too late tonight for me to check, but I may have a set in the garage, I can check tomorrow.

Actually they're not. The bracket and bolts only come as part of the assembly with the caliper, so you have to buy the entire thing. Napa and CarQuest is the same deal, sadly.

I found a local shop that specializes in high-grade metric bolts, and I got the bolt and the tap from them. It's a M14x1.5 40mm. I managed to drill out and retap the old bracket. I actually just finished (and showered) just now.
