Can anyone help with finding these parts?

------------------------------------------------

Great website!
I'm working on an A-Series restoration that I saved from a scrapyard- lots of photos, ups, and downs. Right now on a major downer as I've discovered the previous owner seriously bodged the brake calipers.

Is there anyway you might know of any rear calipers being available anywhere? Any scrappers hiding in yards anywhere I could go and check out?

It's the LARGE wheeled version I have; photo of the cylinder I need attached. It is not a cir-clip fixing which is why the Lockhead units I have tried from eBay don't seem to fit. Any ideas?
