Default Torque specs on brake calipers???

Does anyone know what the torque specs for the brake calipers is? I decided to paint my calipers after putting it off for a year. While I had the wheels off, I cleaned the inside (barrels) of the wheels - what a mess!

I guess I'll detail the fender wells too, while I'm at it. But when I put everything back together, what is the torque spec???

TIA!

It took me a sec to find but my book says 125 lb ft for the mounting bracket and 23 lb ft for the brake caliper guide pin bolts
Good Luck
