The rear brake caliper bracket rear hole threads appear to be semi-stripped. Bought this part second hand.

What options do I have to keep the bolts from backing out. Used blue loctite and lost the rear bolt (M8 - 1.25 x 20mm = stock size)?

Options I think I may have:

1) Fit M8 - 1.25 x 25mm with a thin nut to clear rotor. Use red loctite.

2) Tap to the next size up.

3) Purchase another second hand bracket.

4) Send out to get new one made (e.g. mailorder CNC / CAD/CAM).
