New Front Brake Seals
« on: 02 March 2013, 08:04:32 pm »
Hi guys,


I'm gearing up for a bit of time in the car in mid march to early april and i've got a shopping list of stuff to sort out, first on the list is rebuilding the front brakes as they need doing.


I left the bike standing over Christmas for two weeks (when the snow came) and the brakes seized up, i managed to get them back to working order but they need the seals replacing and a good clean, so im going to take them off in a couple of weeks, order some braided lines and new seals.


The question I have is if anyone has purchased seals off ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150910673906?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649)? They seem like really good value, but I don't want to buy a cheap pattern part that won't fit and I won't be able to return.


As always, comments appreciated!


thanks
...Oh Yeah!

Go with original seals, they will definitely be better quality, so may as well do the job right from the start.
