1983 C900 brake woes

1983 base Saab 900 three door. My front brakes make a terrible clunk noise when the car is first moved into reverse. The calipers sound like they are going to fall out! Mechanic says that they have worn to the point where they are so loose that this noise happens and not to worry about it. I hate it. Replacement calipers are only remanufactured ones that will have the same problem, he says. Does anyone know where I can get tight or new front brake calipers for an '83 C900? Is my mechanic on the level? Also, these brakes howl like a banshee when braking lightly. But hard braking is pretty quiet. That is a whole different issue, and I will deal with it if I can get the caliper problem fixed. Is there any reason to suspect that these two problems are related? Mechanic says no.
Thanks!
