brake caliper woes...

i'm having a bit of a hard time finding new/rebuilt calipers to fit the b310 struts in my car. I went to the local NAPA, and they only had one listing for them, but when the box was opened, there was only the caliper part, no frame, and they were wrong! Yow. They looked to me to be for a 1200 strut(different bolt spacing).
So, my question is-is there anything that will bolt on and work with the solid discs?
I've tried the Volvo 4 piston ones from a 240dl wagon-they bolt on fine, but have funky European flares, and two lines-they're goin' on the dune buggy anyways.
Thanks for any info anyone may have.

Our "510s" (HL510) apparently have different brakes from the Australian Stanzas (A10) ... in North America the 300ZX struts (?) are often used.

I've gone looking quite extensively for the elusive Stanza struts. No dice. By the looks though, the Stanza/b310 are the same donkeys. I'll look into the 300 ones, but I've already done a bunch of work to get these ones in so it would be cool to just keep what's already there.
Will the Hilux ones work with solid discs?
Dd, will 510 calipers bolt on?
I'll measure the center of the holes in the meantime on my struts....

B310 and "Stanza" are two different model lines. The Stanza is what we call 510 circa 1980, but they used different parts in different markets. Apparently the A10/Stanza/510/HL510/Violet varied the most by market.

I really don't know much about strut or brake swaps, I'm going by memory. I would use the search box, look for 300zx strut, b310 strut, etc
