February 16, 201214 yr Evening Peeps I have lost (I have no idea how?) the 'O' ring from between the 2 caliper halves, and I cant find a part number on Lampkins site for it(not listed) Can I get away with a normal O ring (got lots) or is it likely to leak after a bit? Anyone got a solution? I've already carried out a fingertip search of the workshop and nowt Thanks
February 16, 201214 yr You need an SBR (Styrene-Butadiene) O ring Most other common o ring materials deteriorate when presented with brake fluid.

What he said.......just place one of the O-rings from your selection into some of the brake fluid and see if it gets soft and spongy.....and grows in size.
February 17, 201214 yr Author Thanks guys, any idea how long it would take for it to go off in fluid?? Also where to source SBR O rings in the UK (can only find them on US sites. Cheers for the help so far

However I was recommended EPDM O rings which I have now got, thanks everyone All I got to do know is bleed them - off to do a search Edited February 19, 201214 yr by CrashMonkey
