[Fot] Girling caliper seals TR/GT6

[Phil Gott]

Jason:
I am on my third season (about 15 races) using seals from Roadster Factory and Girling LMA fluid. No problems. I do the Kastner trick of squaring up the pads every 2 races to make sure the forces on the pistons are reasonably parallel to the bore of the caliper.

The seal kit i used was branded TRW, Pistons are nitrided steel. Motul RBF600 fluid.
