I think those are called Time-serts. 400gbp?!!! Redracingparts.com in Italy sells New Brembo road calipers for 201.03 euros for black ones and 191.03 for silver ones. But I don't want to deal with shipping costs. It's been suggested that I should have the original hole filled (with aluminum) and then retapped. Otherwise the Time-serts. Although I'm going to do some more research on the heli-coils, I'm not sure if they will be strong enough.
