Default rear caliper mounting bolt missing

just got back from a 3 day ride and I was doing some inspection/cleaning work on the bike & found I am missing a mounting bolt on the rear brake caliper on my 09 heritage. Called local HD and was told that it was $67 for a kit because they don't sell the bolt by itself. So....what are the specs on the mounting bolts on the rear caliper. Or where can I get one without it costing me for a kit.

thanks in advance.

Pull another bolt on the caliper and match it up at an appropriate hardware or auto parts.

Use thread locker.
