Come on guys, no help???

Nissan does not stock these alone. The rebuild kits doesn't even include them. WE had discussed this on the old 240sx mailing list years ago, and it pretty much came down to; don't lose teh seals between the caliper halves. They are made of a certai type of material, but I can't recall what it was.

I'll see if I can't check a few sources I have for info on this, but don't hold your breath.

PDM told me the same thing

Waht i amd going to do is get the other ones for a measurement and check a local o ring suppler and for some.

I thing my best bet would be to use a materal called...EPDM (Ethylene Propylene, EPM)EPM is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene. Ethylenepropylene-diene rubber (EPDM) is produced using a third monomer and is particularly useful when sealing phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids and in brake systems that use fluids having a glycol base.

I will let you know.

I like EPMD!

Good luck finding the seals...

i rebuilt a set of calipers in japan, the 26mm z calipers, and the rebuild kit i got there had these seals in it.

im in the same boat as you now, i have my calipers rebuilt, exept for those damn o rings. has anyone tried to contact brembo, or tried to find out if there are any other opposed piston calipers whose rebuild kit may have these pieces in it.

i just emailed stoptech to see if they will be of any help to us

Sdwyzs thats great.If you get that lets us know.

So where in Japan did you get those?Parts store, factory??(Military)

Maybe we can call them too.Later.

yeah i had a civilian friend that spoke fluent japanese, and he bought the rebuild kit for me. i would call him, but i don't know his number or any other way to keep in touch with him
