Title: Late-model small block caliper seals source
Post by: Dirk_S on November 07, 2023, 12:16:48 PM

The same rear caliper is used on the small blocks from the V7 II on up through the current E5 lineup— this includes the V7 III, V9, and V85TT. No seal kits appear to be available, not by a tempo, not by anyone. The pistons are 22mm diameter. Anywhere else I can get some caliper seals? I hate the idea of tossing otherwise good calipers.

Here's a place to check - I couldn't think of their name when we were Messaging.

You got my hopes up, Charlie! So close—they offer seal kits for the front brakes, which I guess are carryovers from the previous small blocks, but nothing for the rear.

Edit: I reluctantly purchased some seals from AliExpress. Curious what they’re even made for…maybe they’re even the stock seals for these specific brakes!
