What to do when the part you need doesn't even have an OEM number? (lemmy.world)

I fucked up the threads on the brake caliper bracket, tried repairing it but didn't go well. Need another one but it doesn't even have an OEM number and I would need to get the whole set which is ridiculous. What should I do?

Part is from rear right brake caliper bracket, Acura Integra GS-R (1998) Coupe

With brakes you might not want to do too many modifications but drilling out the threads and tapping bigger might be an option. Someone else mentioned finding a machine shop to help. eBay can sometimes have odd parts like that for cheap. Are you able to research if the part was shared across any other Honda or Acura models?
