Front caliper kits? Help plz

Hi there, I need to buy some front brake caliper seal kits for my 87 Z28 it has stock single piston front calipers and rear drums. I have been looking on eBay for parts, and there are heaps of them and as I live in Australia it's goin to cost me abit in shipping so I don't want to buy the wrong ones. Also looking at getting new flex hoses and there seems to be heaps of different ones of those too. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Over here, THE WHOLE CALIPER costs about $12 at the parts store. Nobody in his right mind rebuilds them because they're SO CHEEEEEEEP to just replace. Which is probabyl why you can't find any "kits".

Not sure what you'd have to do to get some calipers shipped. But I'd suggest changing your search to that instead of the "kits".
