2014 Stelvio. I’m missing a rubber boot / cush sleeve that goes around one of the rear caliper pins. My puppy chewed it off a couple of years ago, finally time to fix it.
I have not been able to find just this rubber part - any thoughts about who to call or where to look?
Bottom of the caliper in the photo. Caliper has a bit of movement that the rubber boot takes up and keeps the pin centered.
Thanks,
Tom

Just did a quick ebay search to find this. Are the rubber parts similar? Good Luck

Thanks, RR2, for that ray of light. The rear caliper on the (2014 V7) Special also slides on two pins. The large boot is mangled, likely on original assembly, allowing road grime to accumulate around the pin, eventually preventing the plate sliding back, thus keeping the pads on the rotor, the fluid boiling, and brake failure. I was told that spare boots were not available (but those Pegaso ones looks suspiciously similar). Thorough cleaning enables it to work again, but that has to be done more or less regularly. I was told to just remove the boot, but not pleased with that. A new boot is a better option than a new caliper. Next time I clean it up, more photos & careful measurement will ensue. And perhaps a closer inspection of some Stelvio's calipers for comparison. Things are looking up.

Guys,
Thanks for those links, same seller in the UK that appears to have TONS of Brembo parts. I've contacted them to try to get just the boot I need, I'm certain they have what I need.
