Bolt for rear caliper halves

After rebuilding my calipers and torquing them while on the rotors today, I realized one of my bolts was stripped. Does anyone know where to source the bolts that connect the two halves for rear calipers? If not, looks like I’m just buying a refurbished caliper unfortunately.

FWIW: a well stocked hardware might carry them. The fastener section of my local True Value Hardware Store was a big help to me.

The markings on the bolt head indicate grade 8. Any hardware store will carry them. Take your bolt with you.

Thanks it turns out these are grade 8 7/16 x 2-1/2. I’m pretty sure they’re 20 thread versus 14 thread which I haven’t been able to locate yet but thanks for the info.
