Need Girling carriers and carrier pins (90, 5Ks, 80)

[RELAYER at aol.com]

Hey guys,
I'm doing a complete front brake replacement on my '90 90.  Since my 
mother-in-law now drives it, she ran the front brake pad down so far beyond 
the pad surface that the metal pad backing started melting and seized the 
rotor.  Damn mother-in-laws.

So here's the problem; my '90 90 has ATE front calipers, and the only 
replacements calipers that were available were Girling (Audi switched during 
'90 production), so I got the calipers from Rod at TPC. That's all fine, but 
the caliper carrier for my ATE will not work with the new Girling caliper. 
So, does anyone have a set of Girling carriers? Can't get them from the 
dealer so far, and running out of options.  I have found a set of carriers at 
Autobahn Performance in ATL, but they only have 3 of the 4 carrier pins, 
sooooooo, I could get by if someone just had 1 Girling carrier pin for me, 
and then I can just use Autobahn's carriers.  Eric Renneisen looked in ETKA 
for me (lost my copy), and it looks like the 5000S, 80, and UrQ Girlings are 
all the same, so I could use those parts fine.

Thanks
