tiny caliper seals?
hi, right ive been replacing seal's on my 4pot calipers and stupidly lost the little seals that sit in the recess where the brake fluid travels through the caliper on the join and was just wondering what there called and if you can purchase them from subaru any help would be great.

Just get a caliper refurb kit. I think Stockcar does them amongst others. Unfortunately I forget his companies name but I'm sure either he or someone else will fill you in shortly.

just thought i'd update evryone with my problem turn's out you cant buy these seal's anywhere so if your going to refurb your own brake's take care and dont loose anything,
found some that may do the job but there not identical,im going to run test's on them in the next week finger's crossed they work.

Hi Dan, have a look at RSwww.com Welcome to rswww.com
bit of a long one!! viton o rings they are +200 deg Cent temp rating, you'll need to measure what you have (measure the diameter and depth of the recess with a digital vernier if poss) of course the o ring must be thicker than the depth of the recess to allow for compression when reassembled, and see if they have anything to suit.
