Hi people, just started to rebuild the front brake callipers. I have had two calliper rebuild kits in house for more than a year. so if anyone has read my rebuild I have had the callipers powder coated so all the seal would be toast, bought new pistons for them and I have started to put it back together, the seal that is provided in the kit, will not fit the slot in the calliper, it is too small.
The inside diameter appears to 38.65mm, outside is about 44.70mm. The kit is made by K&L and the part numbers are 32-1185 now it appears that this kit is for a "78" maybe a "79" but not a KZ which my bike may or may not be. I have found some discrepancies so maybe the brakes are not original. As luck would have it I have just seen a rubber seal that just happens to be the right size and fits in the groove properly, the size +_ is OD=49.15mm, ID=42.06, 2.93 thick, can anyone identify the year of this break calliper, the other one is the same.
