Anyone happen to know the torque spec on the front brake caliper bolts? See attached pic. Disregard the upgrade being made In pic. I have looked everywhere and can’t seem to locate for these 2 bolts.

Thanks in advance.

Be sure to use the adapter bolt spec for the adapter and caliper spec for the caliper. There's a big difference. The bolts you are pointing to are the adapter bolts.

Secondary question. I just received the SHTF pair of bolts to keep in my bag. Just in case.

They are marked on the head as a KX2 10.9.

The bolts on the JT from factory are marked KXV 10.9.

without pulling it all apart tonight. Are these same bolts ?

These are the Mopar bolts all sites said to order.

KXV and KX2 are the manufacturer's marking.
I believe both are the same company - KAMAX, a German holding company.
10.9 means metric class 10.9 which is roughly akin to the grade 8 English.
