Hi FOT,
after I got bothered over years by leaking brake seals I started to develop
rings out of special DOT 3;4;5.1 resistant rubber with extended heat
resistance.
They are made for racing purpose and surprisingly they also do help against
pad pushback.
I have run the sealing rings the whole season and had no leaks and hard as a
rock brake pedal.
As the dust cover do get toasted during racing I replaced the dust cover by
a slotted ring to prevent the enter of dirt into the caliper.
These rings are expensive because of the material they are made from.
I didn't order a run of rings as I have to take the minimum of 240 from the
manufacturer to get an acceptable price.
If there is interest on your side I would like to know.
Cheers
Chris
