WTB - Bleeder valves seized, where to find a decent deal on w460 callipers

As the topic says, I need new callipers. The bleeding valves are totally seized. They're about $1000 each from the dealer, does anyone have any suggestions?

Take the calipers to a machine shop and let them remove the bleeders.  Worst case: they drill and tap new holes for bleeders.  That is assuming that the rest of the caliper is sound.

I have a nice used set.

A pair of front calipers for the early 463 and the EPC show them to be the same for the 460 fronts. 3 nipple bleed.
When I was having brake issues I picked these up used but ended up just rebuilding my old ones. cylinders appear to be in good shape. 1 seal is a little suspect.

$325 for the pair plus shipping.

I have bought a set of calipers that had one line in as opposed to 2. I needed the one that had 2 line in. They are brand new and loaded see pics
