Ive always wondered that same question and ive always thought they would with some uprights to match the carrier spacing but both carriers/calipers can be had for 30-40 quid aside so the calipers wont be as old so if your thinking of just swapping carriers you need uprights aswell, personally id just get TT/S3 ones mine may be up for sale soon with nearly new D&G disc's and mintex pads ill pm you nearer the time if youve not got anything by then !!

Will keep looking for some carriers as theres nothing wrong with my current calipers

B6 has S4 style caliper bolt spacing, so no, they wont fit a B5 unless you fit the B6 uprights as well.
