Thats much more reasonable, is there much difference in quality in these rebuild kits or should I be fine with the eBay unbranded one?

There are loads of people on here (myself included) who have used the Cruzinimage kits as in Trigger's link and they are fine.
As Rob says, if Trigger recommends something you will be OK!

I have been hanging round this site a lot of late, and I think that I have learned; if Trigger says buy something you should buy it !!
But I still recommend you watch: hackaweek "73 honda CB750 cafe racer rebuild " on Youtube.

Personally, the only aftermarket carb kits I will use are from Yamiya or kits like Gerben in Holland sells.. Don't get me wrong there could be nothing wrong with other carb kits but they also sell inlet rubber kits and camchain rubber idlers that I know to be inferior to OEM and causing people on the US site horrendous problems. Gerben has the right idea ..he sells the 'O' ring kits sourced in Viton. He's got a really good reputation for rebuilding carbs. Rubber compounding is a science in itself. I worked for a company for 20 years that were experts in it, so I feel qualified to comment. DS will not tell me who he sources his aftermarket rubber parts from or give tech specs to check for myself, so again I have voted with my feet on that one.

Thanks for the link but already ordered the other kit mate.
Im still searching for a reasonably priced front caliper + all the mounting gear. Little confused as I've seen different types of mounts listed on the bay for my bike (76), some look like this (and so does the schematic in my haynes manual:
and others look like this:
The mounting point on my forks looks like this:
Which type do I need?
Trigger:
The first picture is for CB750 K0 to K2, you need the arm in the second picture to fit the later forks
