The early bikes use the Grimeca 1010 caliper, later bikes the 1025. Both use the same 41mm piston and may well use the same seals. The 1050/55 is a Lockheed replacement (again 41mm bore) and may also use the same seals. They're available from http://www.triumph-spares.co.uk/ or http://www.norbsa02.freeuk.com/GoffyGrimeca.htm

http://www.wakularacing.com list a 1010 rebuild kit (pistons and seals) for US$38.

try RGM MOTORS; they're Norton specialists but Roger offers Grimeca performance/replacement parts.
