crashmonkey Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gii Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 You need an SBR (Styrene-Butadiene) O ring Most other common o ring materials deteriorate when presented with brake fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldbanjo Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 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.

crashmonkey Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmonkey Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Google this "SBR O rings in the UK" and get this http://www.polymax.co.uk/acatalog/ So you do, problem is they dont ~actually~ sell SBR O rings, and by all accounts you cant get them in the uk. 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, 2012 by CrashMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
