These guys have been good in the past.

Looks like metric bolts are graded differently than US bolts, so looking for Grade 8 may not work, you want Class 10.9 or 12.9 I think.

Seems like everyone has useful information to find your answer... I retract my efforts for looking up the part.

You can try contacting FatFourCustoms (FatFour Customs - Purveyors of custom Honda Accord parts). They've been providing brackets for the RL Advics conversion for a long time now, and I wouldn't be surprised if they might knew a thing or two about the calipers. You could make the case that you've purchased brackets from them (assuming you did) and maybe ask for some information/help about the caliper bolts. Who knows maybe they have replacement bolts themselves.
Werd Werx (https://www.facebook.com/WerdWerx/) might be another option as well. They appear to be one of the more popular places to goto for getting a set of RL calipers powdercoated (very decent reputation online) and I wouldn't be surprised if they've salvaged some RL calipers themselves and had to get replacement bolts.
edit:
Some more info here Caliper rebuild & hardware upgrade kit - FatFour Customs.

mmmmm bolts are tuff cause they aren't always called out on our dwgs, additionally that's gunna be a super old part dwg (Also done in Japan which can add to the difficulty of finding the right information)
But upload another picture with arrows pointing to where you need bolts, and post the part number and I will try my best.

you guys are smart and I need some help.
I need to make a small 12v circuit. pic of it is below.
there are a few diodes and resistors.
my DUMB question is what do I use to hold all this stuff?
do i need to make my own circuit board or some cra cra stuff
I can solder and basic wiring, you guys saw my projects, but I am not sure what to use for this.
Thanks in advance,
Happy Thanksgiving
WIth these changes:
Omit fuse protection, not needed.
Add .01 uF capacitors on the input lines. Cap from turnsignal + to ground and cap from marker light + to ground.

Anyone have recommendations on good DRL/Fog lights.

Also, does anyone us a radar detector? I've always considered buying one, but never did. Found the 9500ix at costco for $250 for black friday sales.

The cheaper options won't put out much usable light. the guy in that screencap looks like he's not amused.

And tbh just want to make the change for looks really. If it adds more light than the stock ones then that's a bonus. Don't think I'd pay more than $50 though.

I bought these for my CRV and they are bright AF! 6k matches perfectly to our headlights, and light output is phenomenal. 2 year warranty and PnP. ( I was gunna mention that I have found that 6K LED match best to OEM headlights, however 5k HID match better than 6K HID... idk why)

Well maybe If you spent less time on AZ and more time doing your work we would!!

Anyway, you get into a civic touring, vs a base model BMW 3 series and see which one you like better. People can't justify $27k on a civic, but can for a $30k BMW with no feature content ?? (imo lower luxury on those base german cars). But still people say... yeah but, its just a Honda...I don't wanna spend the money.

Comes down to branding/marketing. Honda will forever be seen as a brand that focuses on selling "affordable" cars.
There are barely any s2000s here in Canada... the thing was MSRP $50,000 CAD when I was a kid dreaming of owning one. Yes people WILL say "50K for a Honda? Hell no!" and will continue to do so, and then start thinking "luxury BRAND" and get an el cheapo BMW that has less content/features/oomph.
