I figured I will post this on NAM, For those who are bored and want to research this. I am looking for a seal that goes on the rear caliper. If this seal can be sourced, the caliper can then be fully rebuild. The part was originally made by ATE, I have looked on there website and contacted them, twice. Did not find anything or hear back from them as of yet. Centric parts has a rebuild kit (143.34027) which ECS and others sell, but that does not have this specific seal in it. I have emailed Centric to ask if they have a part that cross references. The kit has another seal that I do not know where it goes.
The reason I am looking for this is that my powder coated caliper is leaking from the parking brake actuator and I really do not want to buy another caliper and have it coated.
Second, rebuilding the caliper is significantly cheaper than a new caliper.
So, if any body want to pick up the baton and help looking, that would be great. Or, maybe someone out there knows something I don't about the extra seal in the kit (143.34027). I have attached some pics of the seal in question.
Just that kit, no separate part # for that other seal. Can you give me the OD and ID, thickness of the seal you need?
The OD of the seal is 27.1mm(1.0675"), ID is 17.1mm(0.6735"), thickness is 4.66mm(0.185") and the shirt or flange DIA is 35.85mm (1.4115").
Let me know if you need any more info,
Thanks for looking into this!
UPDATE:
I sourced the seals from donor calipers and replaced mine. The calipers are working great now and no leaks. Recently a member here had a similar problem and got me looking into this again. Turns out there are other cars with similar calipers. I found this.
If you can read Russian, great! If not, google translate does an ok job. https://ffclub.ru/topic/48022/jump_990/
A decent break down of the caliper.
EDIT: This might be the rear rebuilt kit - Frenkit 238041
Come on @ECSTuning , get one and let us know! Looks like the dust seal is correct!
