Don't underestimate the amount of stress "holding them together" involves. If you try to think laterally, when you apply braking force to the caliper, the equal and opposite reaction is to try to force the calipers apart. Therefore the bolts "holding them together" are actually a high stress item. For my calipers, I used aircraft standard SS bolts, but got them through a now defunct source.

If you do a search on high tensile SS bolts, I'm sure you'll find something similar.
