Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm looking for a seal like this used between the two halves of the brake caliper. Where can I get something like this? Brakes are Promax Q3
Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 Oh, I'd also like to know what it's called(the seal)
David Marshall Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Tracking down that sort of thing takes a huge amount of time and effort - that is if you can't get the exact one from the agent. I don't know where you are based but you will need to take a sample in to an industrial seal company and see if they can help. You will need to tell them if it is for oil or brake fluid. If they have as a stock item it will cost next to nothing. If they make it for you a bit more, your time and effort 'though will probably cost more than a new calliper.
DIPSLICK Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 First stop would be a jacked LBS most seals(orings) are similar in size on the calipers Abe's techno seal has many seals as std in stock, Sealco , is a division of bearing man they stock or make most seals, be sure to tell them mineral oil or brake fluid as normal rubber will just swell PM ME IF YOU DONT COME RIGHT
Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 Upon closer inspection, this looks like any normal little washer-perhaps a special kind of rubber though for the DOT fluid? Could I perhaps cut a little piece of packing material?

Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 That looks a lot like a leather washerIt's rubber. Perhaps cork packing could work?
V12man Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 It's rubber. Perhaps cork packing could work?Forget that - buy the right thing or someone might die..... or at least hurt themselves... Measure the seal properly and post the dimensions - Dips will check with his suppliers if you ask nicely....

Thought the same thing when I saw it was a brake caliper ... when it comes to safety rather not compromise to save a few bucks
porqui Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Is that seal original - that seal looks more like a rubber grommet to me.

droo Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 If it's a DOT system, that's an EPDM O-ring. You'll have to phone around, and take the sample with you whe you collect to confirm sizing.
