Default Caliper Brackets

So my passenger rear caliper bracket has one of the screw holes stripped. I've done a little bit of searching and can't find just a replacement bracket. Does anyone know where I can get one? I need it pretty much ASAP.

I also need the bolts.

A place where I can get it or the part numbers would be great.

Stock knuckle and stock caliper? If so, you don't have caliper brackets; the knuckle itself has the holes that the caliper attaches to. Sorry.

Yes, my brakes are stock.

This part (with the red dot) is not available separately? Is that not the bracket? I know it can be removed from the caliper, so I figured it would be available by itself. If it's not, I guess I'll take it somewhere to get re-tapped for a larger bolt..

Thanks for the help, Gville.

That part is actually part of the caliper itself. That "bracket" actually allows the caliper to move in and out during braking when attached to the knuckle. Either source a "junk" caliper, rebuild the sliding pin cylinder, install the "bracket", and attach the caliper OR purchase a rebuilt caliper. I'd recommend a rebuilt caliper because you'll know that the sliding pin area of the caliper is good-to-go. A quick search of the phrase seized caliper will net you a bunch of threads where stock rear calipers have seized due to a failed rubber seal keeping moisture out of the sliding pin cylinder area.
