I am another one who separated the calipers while overhauling them. I had
no luck in obtaining new ones. What I ended up doing was getting various
sized o-rings from a local hardware store and soaking them in brake fluid
for a fortnight. Suprisingly, I found some to remain supple and strong, so
I used the two that came the closest to fitting. No troubles to date.

You weren't supposed to separate the two halves for rebuilding the cals. I
doubt you will find the correct seals.
For all of you out there for future reference.
DO NOT SEPARATE CALIPER HALVES!!!!!!!
