Good luck on your quest, Wizz. wink

Take a look here at some good advice CLICKY

If yours is beyond redemption then try Eblag or even this chap HERE who may possibly have some used calipers. confuse

Ah - if that's all then you will get away with a strip down, cleaning, lubricating and re-fitting. wink

The system isn't too difficult to dismantle and clean. This link is for the rear caliper CLICKY LINK but the front isn't too dis-similar.

When you have the caliper off the forks it's easy to get the pads out and I find an old tooth brush a handy dust remover. aww

Clean around the pistons (especially the part concealed in the caliper) very well and make them shine.

The whole caliper should be able to move on the two pins of the bracket and it may be necessary to pull them apart (don't rip the rubber boots) and clean the rust out. Re-grease with high melting point grease and re-assemble.

The workshop manual gives the torque settings for the caliper fixings and is invaluable for reference. confuse
