#1 Front caliper seals

Post by MLBS3V12 » Sun Feb 02, 2014 9:31 am

I'm preparing all the parts which have to be zing plated.
I've open the 2 front calipers ( the car is an S3) to remove the pistons.
However, between the 2 half calipers there are 2 small o rings. They will have to be changed.
Does someone know where can I buy them?

regards
Michel

It rather depends on the size. Coopercraft / Zeus front brake calipers have the same arrangement, so it may be worth e mailing them

If they are standard, you could try J & L Spares Export as they recondition most types of caliper - +44 1706 644210.

XK Unlimited also list them:
