Refurbish 3.0 Turbo Calipers

Something of a rarity now I have a set of early Turbo calipers that I would like to get refurbished. Would anyone know someone that can handle this specialised task. Main problem would appear to be removal of stubborn retaining screws. I can probably deal with that myself and stripping them back to alloy but the pistons, caliper seals and scraper rings may need to be replaced so I will need a source of those too.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried Classicar Automotive in Chelford, Cheshire? Always do a great job for me!

Is it worth a chat with EB Motorsport (Mark?) as they make their own RSR callipers and will obviously know the supply chain and options for finishes.

Many thanks. I have had several quotes between 900 and 1800. The later seems to know the calipers very well. They are later than expected 3.3 Turbo so on reflection we have decided to go with the 917 callipers all round. The callipers with new disks and pads are for sale. Offers invited circa 2K.
Many thanks for all the advice and help.
