What is the rear caliper brace bolt called?

Howdy all! I'm currently restoring a Protoge5 with about five years of deferred maintenance. Got it for free and am now getting it running and road ready.

I hit a snag. The previous owner pulled the rear brake calipers and rotors and they sat until it rusted away and were disposed of. While restoring the rear brake system, I discovered that the caliper brace bolts are missing - got thrown out with the old calipers. I ordered some from Mazda but they sent me the front bolts (part no. 9975-60-230) - bigger than the rear bolts. I've been searching everywhere to find a part number or supplier.

See attached picture for reference. The diagrams don't call out the part number for this bolt on any digram I can find. I'm sure I'm not looking at the correct system diagram. I have a digital version of the repair manual - this is where I pulled the attached picture. Any help with solving this mystery is appreciated.

That bolt should be common with other models in the Mazda lineup.

Hit the junkyard and hit up a few Mazda cars robbing them of their bolts to try on the P5.

Most places won't even charge you for the bolts so it's a win situation if you find that bolt off of another model.

Besides eBay this is what I'd do.
Good luck. 🙏🏽
