Disk Brake Swap question

Quick question, I am in the middle of my 74-79 disk brake swap on my 67 and I have misplaced both bolts to the caliper. I could not find it on LMC or any of the others. Can I run what ever bolt just to make it work or does it need to be that odd shaped bolt? Also I will be upgrading to power brakes. Now I have the correct master cylinder and a new disk/drum prorationing vale. Do I replace the factory one up under the frame with the new one or just run both? I see most guys and gals mount it under the booster. Any help would be awesome!

About the missing bolt- Do you know what size it is? If so you can buy a grade 8 replacement from the bolt depot or a local NAPA.

You can get the correct caliper key bolts, in a caliper key set, from the parts store.
