Vintage Rim Brake Pad Holders

Hello, i'm in the process of restoring an early 1970s Dawes Galaxy which was outfitted with Weinmann center pull brakes. Thankfully i have the brakes in good working order, but need to replace the pads/holders. Looking online, i see many options to buy inserts that would be a good match for my bike, but i don't see any pad holders for sale. How are these pads sold without holders? The holders i have don't allow the pads to be changed out, so would need to buy new pads/holders, but i haven't been able to find a good match of both pad and holder. It's like i'm missing out on some nether world where you magically slide new inserts into your ancient pad holders. What am i missing?
