saw those just after I bought a pair of spindles off ebay  ::)

would have probably been cheaper to just buy a fresh set of brakes but was determined to resto something!

let me know if you do - my springs still look a bit scabby and one's a bit out of shape after having to wrestle with it to get it off the calipers
