broken caliper pin

Does anyone know if the Kiz shares a caliper pin with another model? I was replacing my brakes yesterday and broke the lower front caliper pin bolt. None of the parts dealers around have it including 3 dealerships that still service Suzuki. It seems like every other caliper pin I've ever seen. I really didn't think it would be so model specific. Seems just like a 14mm bolt to me. Any help?

Thanks!

Yep, That's it. I actually have it on order already. I was just hoping maybe they were the same as some other car and I could ask the local part store for an alternate car's caliper pin and get my car back together today. Thanks!

I reverse searched the Carlson PN found on Rock Auto and came across this eBay auction that has a list of all applications:

It seems like a really common part

That's actually exactly what I bought. Got it in the mail today and installed today. I actually cheated for a couple of days and used a bolt and washer I bought from Home Depot to drive a few miles. When I took it out today it seemed that it held up perfectly well. I don't think I'd be comfortable leaving it in permanently but it did the job.

How did you break that bolt? That's really hard to do for the most part.
