Default Replacement brake pistons ?

OK, got hold of some cheap 4 pot calipers - only problem is they obviously haven't been looked after as the inner pistons are welded into the bores with rust ! Not a major problem as I was planning on repainting and replacing any rusted parts ( pins etc... ) anyway.

So, had just planned on stripping them and replacing all the seals, but may as well do all the pistons as well now so at least I know everything is new and working properly.

Anyone know the best place to get new pistons ? I know godspeed do a set of stainless ones for £100 ( ? ) but these are probably overkill for the age of car, so would be happy with the standard sort, but had a quick look online and couldn't find anywhere with them listed.

Thanks
Mike
