Subject: [Fot] Brake caliper sealing rings 

Hi FOT, 

after I got bothered over years by leaking brake seals I started to develop 
rings out of special DOT 3;4;5.1 resistant rubber with extended heat 
resistance. 

They are made for racing purpose and surprisingly they also do help against 
pad pushback. 
I have run the sealing rings the whole season and had no leaks and hard as a 
rock brake pedal. 
As the dust cover do get toasted during racing I replaced the dust cover by 
a slotted ring to prevent the enter of dirt into the caliper. 

These rings are expensive because of the material they are made from. 

I didn't order a run of rings as I have to take the minimum of 240 from the 
manufacturer to get an acceptable price. 

If there is interest on your side I would like to know. 


Cheers 
Chris
