Help with Cleveland brake replacements

I've thrown in the towel with my Cleveland brakes.

Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of new caliper/piston assemblies both sides means looking for an alternative manufacturer. My Stinson is on a Permit and I've already tried some secondhand ones without success.

Looking at Matco prices in LAS Aero's catalogue they look very good especially as it includes wheels, disc rotors, back plates and brakes complete.

Problem is I'm having trouble specifying what I need. The only 6" wheel/brake combo on a 1.5" axle has an internal caliper and the backplate bolt pattern is different. Just to complicate matters mine has a welded backplate and the axle isn't a square ended 4 bolt attachment.

If anybody has experience of this revision and can help I'll be forever grateful.

Many thanks.
