Wtd - Sierra front calipers / carriers

Anyone got any laid about for 260mm vented discs before I have to buy overpriced crusty ones off ebay?
Don't mind rebuilding them but don't want seized pistons and bleed nipples please

Edit - sorry, misread your post and thought you were after brackets alone (which I tried for recently - and is a seemingly impossible ask!)

If you only come across old calipers you might consider http://biggred.co.uk/ for remanufactured ones.

I used them to exchange my Sierra donor front calipers when building my MK Indy a few years back. Price was good and delivery was fast.

I've picked up a pair of reconditioned calipers for 240mm discs which have the smaller 53.9mm pistons, which are closer to the existing 47.9mm ones. The 260mm calipers seem to be 59.9mm which makes me worry about pedal travel.
Also got a crusty set of XR4x4 260mm calipers and carriers, just for the carriers. Hopefully I can combine the 2 to make the set up I need. Bit of a faff but fingers crossed it'll all work out
