hi there, where does everyone get their seals and dust boots from for these calipers? i have teves early twin fixed calipers. the dust boots from fte automotive with fixed metal rings don't want to go on these teves calipers.

Hi
I got caliper kits from GSF for the old two piston calipers.
Seal and boot fitted OK. Mine was TRW.
Boot may have wire ring which goes in after boot is in recess in caliper but its not part of the boot (on mine).

cheers.
