In the process of rebuilding my calipers, was wondering if anyone knew the torque for the bolts that hold the two halves of the front caliper together.

Sheesh, I can't find this spec anywhere. My Chiltons manual doesn't have it, the BMW torque list on e38.org doesn't even list brakes, and google comes up dry.... surely I can't be the first to rebuild these calipers and wonder what the correct torque spec is.

8.8 or 10.9? Thread pitch and count?
I have a chart, can give you an idea.
I make E23 parts.
09/1983 745i (stolen spring '13 around Houston, TX Achatgruen on nutria buffalo. 8481080)
10/1984 745i
11/1984 745i
11/1984 735i (10:1-265/6)
Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.
I did find the general bmw spec chart. I just really prefer to torque things like this to the correct number...
