10.1" Calipers Question

[vw_85roccoZ400 at hotmail.com (Brian Spinney)]

Alright time to bringing this back from the dead and add a few more question 
into the mix.
Well after searching my garage for the Front Calipers this weekend I just 
happened to find them.  I even left the carriers on them, and even cleaned 
them before storing them away go figure.

I made up my mine and I think I'm going to rebuild them although they don't 
really need to be.  The only physical/mechanical problem I see  is the 
bleeders need to be replaced.  So question 1, where can I buy bleeders?

Also does anyone run mintex C-tech pads?
