If you have major dramas finding a vented caliper there is a seller on Ebay who sells spacers to convert non-vented calipers to vented spec for about £30. I've used the seller before and he's fine.

Ha looks familiar. I had to buy a new set galvanized calipers on Ebay. They are offered for sale frequently, so you should have no problem finding new ones.

You could buy my pair of new old stock calipers for £70.
