Default Brake Caliper Bracket Torque Specs

Anyone know what the torque specs are for the large bolts that attach the bracket to the spindle and the small bolts that attach the bracket to the caliper?

Thanks Mike. One more question - What's the torque for the brake line bolt to the caliper? When I broke them loose, they seemed to be at different specs. Appreciate your help on this.
