im not gonna name names when it comes to dealers, i dont wanna get abnned from the place, but they showed me the parts catalouge in the shop and the parts i need we identified, but only available with a complete caliper (less obviously piston seals and piston dust seals. and other bits, ie just the caliper casting, and caliper carrier)
Just to clarify, the bits im after are the small dust seals/boots (they look like little cv boots) that fit between the caliper and the carrier and keep the grease on the slides. One goes through the caliper and the other is just like a tiny cv boot. i have described them to other people as little concerteena (cant spell sorrie) seal. A local triumph specalists breaker wants £80 a caliper.
Also on the copper grease thing, im told that copper grease attack and expands rubber. the seals were there when i got the bike, but had popped and were huge and would not fit back where they came. they were also very delicate and ripped very easily when i tried to refit them.
I was told to use rubber grease when i re assembled the brakes with the new seals (if i could get them!!!!)
Thanks for the recomendation of people to try, i shall give them a ring, as i cant be the only one who has needed to replace these annoying things
If anyone has any more ideas please let me know
