The use of Orings in place of flat seals isn't really the way to go, yes it will work, for how long I've know idea. An Oring is made to seal around a circumference or and edge, not flat surfaces and won't have the surface contact area of the flat seal. Flat surface area contact will be achieved by crushing the Oring which could cause deformity, which under pressure will leek. Yes it will work to a point, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I have came across some croc whilst reading up. like, "soak the new seals in brake fluid to make them more supple and easier to fit" -- "don't get brake cleaner on them as it makes them brittle"

sorry i did say o ring but ment washer its cause i have a pack sat on my desk infront of me for when i get round to rebuilding my suspension(probably later todays lockdown project)
Im confused now - what have you got in front of you.a pack of proper brake halve sealing washersa pack of o ringsa pack of rubber tap washersa pack of rubber condomsa pack of crisps
My pistons and seals came today > fantastic service from Fowlers les than 24 hours. And am happy to confirm that it was 2 pistons even came with a little satchet of grease # cute.
