Exactly -- I ended up buying two new calipers today; nice and shiny!

Thanks for the tip on getting the stuck brake connection unstuck -- I had
no problems at all with torching it. I now have the two new calipers on,
including the braided steel brake lines, and new fluid in. Still seems to
be air in the system though, so I think I'll be rebleeding it tomorrow.
I'm happy though... 

Thanks!
Oliver
