Brake hose banjo bolt size

I overtorqued the banjo bolt that holds the brake hose to the caliper and need to replace it (cheap new Harbor Freight torque wrench... was expecting a bigger click when it hit torque).

Anybody know the right size banjo bolt to use? Autozone/Advance/Oreilly don't carry it and I don't want to pay dealer prices. It looks like there are only a few common banjo bolt sizes so I'm pretty sure 10mm x 1.0 with ~29mm length and 8mm banjo depth is the right one (like 997517ERL here http://www.holley.com/types/Hyperfirm Brake Line Banjo Bolts.asp ).

Anybody have any idea if that's right?

How much is it at the dealers? If you're talking about $2 more, just get it and be done with it. That way, you'll KNOW it's right and you won't have to go back and forth to a hardware or auto parts store.
 
I was trying to avoid going to the dealer since the closest Mazda dealership is 40 min. away.

I ended up ordering from an independent local shop. When I got it, the hole through the bolt for the brake fluid was about half the diameter of the OEM part (the catalog didn't spec the hole size). Since I definitely don't want to restrict my brake fluid flow I went ahead and ordered the correct part from the dealer. Turned out to be $4.55 which was actually cheaper than the local shop or anything I saw online. Guess I should have gone with the dealer to start with.

For anybody else that's looking here in the future: 10mm x 1.0 is definitely the correct thread size. 22mm or so is probably the correct length but the caliper seems like it is able to accommodate slightly longer as well (don't know if that would have undesirable fluid dynamic effects).
