Quick update.
As I suspected/hoped, it was just a matter of cleaning the parts again, and pressing them together with a desk vice. Slightly suprised that the parts came apart in the first place as the split-ring that holds the adjuster mech in the piston is pretty strong. But maybe it had worked its way loose in a previous existence..
Alls well that ends well.

I decided to add a pic of the re-conned caliper(s). Ignore the bleed-nipples as these have now been replaced with ones from these guys http://speedbleeder.com/size.htm. These seem like a great idea to me, especially when the rears are so notoriously arkwark to bleed.
