Rear caliper seals k1 k2
Posted: 29 Jan 2022 22:20
Copied to the 500 forum as more 500s had a rear disc brake than 350s!
Has anyone found a decent UK source of rear caliper seals?
Mdina are out of stock and I’d like to get the bubbling rear caliper on my k1 rebuilt before it’s on the club stand at Shepton mallet.
Piston diameter looks to be 32mm although I don’t want to strip the caliper until I know I can get new seals so I am not 100% sure what I actually need.
The Ariete catalogue lists 12865PI for the K2 but can’t find anywhere in the UK who stock them. There are a couple of places on eBay Italy but I was hoping to avoid long shipping times and expensive import.
There are numerous scooter shops selling cheap overhaul kits for 32x16mm pistons but the pistons all seem to look steeped for a dust seal which doesn’t look like what I’ve got (I don’t think). Plus with brakes, cheap is not best.
Any recommendations gratefully received.
