Chris Wilson Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Someone has dropped off some already split into halves UK calipers they have had powder coated for me to re-assemble. Some of the square section O rings that seal the caliper half brake fluid paths are split. I can't see a listing for these, are they available? I know some makers do not supply these as they reckon calipers should not be split apart. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Toyota said no, as we have a contact at the big T I can try and find out for you, I would have thought you would have had a source for strange O rings!!!

Nic Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Toyota sell a rebuild kit for the calipers (need to check if they include the O rings), give me a minute and I'll try find the part numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 No doesn't look as though they include the O rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Some info on SupraForums, Chris Thanks but I am not a member, any sources listed? Possibly the seals are common with other calipers, if they were my own I'd try an alternative, but being a customers I would rather you took the risk I can ask an ex AP guy I know if he can find anything for you, but not until about Tuesday as he's testing in warmer climes Edited January 9, 2010 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 See if you can get some from whoever Grainger are, I'll ask my AP man. They must be square section, every caliper I have seen apart has used square section seals between the two halves. Someone will sell them, as brake caliper refurbishers wouldn't be able to service them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
