Default Brake Caliper bolts

Hey all! First post. I have a 2000 1500 3.9L V6. Just replaced rotors and brake pads. Found the torque specs for the caliper bracket (130 Ft lbs) but I am seeing lots of different values for the caliper bolts. Any help would be great! Thanks!

They only locate the caliper, not hold it in place, so, torque isn't critical, just so long as they don't come out.
