Sure, Brake calipers are cheap, except the one set was the only set of Black Dia-comp centerpulls I have ever seen that I put on my 78 Supercourse, a little black paint and all is well, this is the fork that I ground a little bit not for clearance but to make it pretty. The other is the front Ultegra 6500 on my Fuji and this one is also the one I bent the brake screw up. The last was my Zunow and it was a Shimano 105 5500 series brake caliper and it is the one I ground both the fork and caliper for clearance.

So the damages were
Brake calipers;
Black Dia-comp center pull (kind of rare, never seen another pair.)
6500 Ultegra and its mounting screw (Cheap on ebay)
5500 105 (Also cheap on Ebay)
Fork;
Zunow for clearance and to smooth it out. (kind of rare but it needed to be smoothed out anyway)
Supercourse to smooth it out. (cheap but good stuff)
