Title: Blue spot seals
Post by: bludclot on 17 March 2018, 08:08:33 pm

It's time for a brake refresh - new fluid and caliper seals. Fowlers want £145.52 for  genuine seals for the fronts alone, any recommendations for alternatives that are as good before I splash out?

Always a bit of a punt I know, but there are good sets on ebay as cheap as £16 for both front calipers.

But make sure the auction states that the dust seals are double lipped.

I usually buy two full sets (enough to do four calipers) on the premise that if any of the seals are not a perfect fit, they go straight into the bin and there are then more than enough replacements.

Still astronomically cheaper than OEM seals, despite the extra waste
