R50/53 Finding a part

Finding a part
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 The part was originally made by ATE, I have looked on there website and contacted them, twice.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.
Happy hunting!
part number: ATE 11.8190-0620.2

Yeah, they have the centric kit, and I did not find that particular seal on their site. I will check with them if they don't respond here.

Just that kit, no separate part # for that other seal. Can you give me the OD and ID, thickness of the seal you need?

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.

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!
