Hi all & sorry if this is in the wrong section, but i`m having trouble finding the long tube type brake caliper seals that fit inside the spacers of the early vented 4pot calipers, we didn`t get the 4 pot brakes as std fitment here but there has been quite a few kazillion 2nd hand 4pot caliper assys been sent over here & i`m needing 2x full sets of those caliper bridge seals to suit 2x cars worth of calipers

You'll be lucky to find those matt, been out of production for a number of years.
Your local rubber manufacturer should be able to help out.

I'm having this problem now as well. I'm rebuilding a set of four pots to be used with NON-vented discs, as we all know that vented discs are not needed on a Mini. However, the small rubber seal that goes between the calipers halves. Is this available? Is it the same as twin pots? I haven't got any here to check against.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Edit** Would a Viton O ring not do the same job?

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

If you are all still having trouble sourcing these in a couple of weeks let me know as we are looking into refurbishing these callipers and getting ss pistons produced along with all the seals required. we do this for P4 callipers so the AP 2 or 4 pot will not prove problamatic.
