brakes Trying to find caliper seals

[haromich]

After sitting for years, I am rebuilding the front calipers from my 1969 2002 (vin 1663275 built 9/1968) -- the two piston per caliper type. Of course the pistons were frozen in the bores, so I had to split the left caliper. The article explaining the rebuild process posted here in Mar 09 from Australia has been helpful (I found the bolts), but... I can't seem to get the right caliper rebuild kits (the seals in the supposedly "proper" kits are too small for the piston by about 8-10mm). The handbook says the my pistons are 48mm diameter. In addition, I can't find the little rubber washer-shaped seals that go between the caliper halves. Anyone know how to find the right kits (other than the $50 listed by maximilian importing)? Or how to find the little seals that go between the caliper halves? Thanks for whatever advice you can share. Harold

BMW dealer in the US - in stock now

(at US parts depots)

C.D.Isiel: Thanks for the leads. I was hoping to find cheaper seal sets but it looks like that's not going to happen. Thanks again. Harold

Go to an "O" ring supplier. take the old "O" ringwith you and tell them what you are using if for. I did this localy and the supplier gave me the "O" ring for free. Can't beat the price. G

Steve: Thanks for the bounceback, but the part#34111103289 is for the vin's greater than 1664XXX, and my vin is 1663275. Big difference because the part number you gave is a for a "4 piston" caliper, while mine is two piston. Thanks again though for giving it a shot!

I thought there was a Porsche seals kit that worked... I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere. As soon as I find it, I'll let you know if it has a part number on it. Tom Jones should chime in as I'm fairly certain he has an answer.

sorry, i didnt read thoroughly to see you had listed your chassis number

[c.d.iesel]

as Matthew said - back some time a go,

(look in FORUM SEARCH) this topic of the tiny

o-rings between the caliper halves was discussed.

PORSCHE (Ate calipers) I think was the solution

try Pelican Parts?

or Performance Parts catalogs for early 356/912 models
