Front caliper seals?
« on: March 16, 2021, 02:04:22 AM »
I have just noticed that we have a leak on one of our front brake calipers since it's been stood. The leak is from the centre of the rear, it looks like a narrow part of the piston protrudes and that's where its leaking. The single piston floating calipers came with the car & are probably quite old, I believe they are from Strange. On their website they show a seal kit that fits "all" their single piston calipers (B1260RK) and this is retailed by Summit. Can anyone confirm if this kit should work or where else to look?

I tried to post this twice yesterday with photos but it didnt work so I'm leaving them off for now.

Quick follow up in case anyone is interested. The Strange seals come as a set of 3 large & 1 or 2 small seals, they did not fit. I stripped the caliper & measured it up, found that British Standard size O rings of some description would fit so I ordered some up in EPDM & they are working really well. I guess American standard O rings are probably the same as ours.
