Front brake caliper question

[fj1200d]

So I am rebuilding the front calipers on my '92 FJ1200. I may have run into a problem with them. Does anyone know where I might find the o-rings that go in between the two halves. Clymer manual stated just to discard and replace them. I didn't discard them but may misplaced one. I checked Yamaha shop and no go. I also checked Handyman with no luck.
I am going to keep looking around to see if I can find it.

Help yourself out more than you know, and install later model calipers, and reap the rewards of better braking and be done with the original ones.

I already purchased all the parts for the rebuild and put the seals in.

Bummer!

Check companies that do hydraulic hose work.... they usually have o-rings that are brake fluid friendly in many sizes.

Thank You, I'm going to see if I can track this down with that suggestion...

I have a set of OEMs off of a 90 w/ HH sintered pads in almost new condition.  If interested, make me an offer.
But really, you should go and spend the $80 or so dollars and buy a set of blue spots off of ebay.  Much better than the OEMs.

Here is a set I just found for a scant $50 delivered.  This is your best bet on the front brakes.

+1 on the blue dots! Best upgrade I've done on my FJ. So far. Found a set with master cylinder & hoses for $75.00 from ebay. 2 finger stops, ya gotta love it.

Well I found the last seal. I do appreciate the input and checking on ebay. I am planning on upgrading the brakes, just not right now. I have spent so much money replacing parts so I can get her back on the road that I want to get some of it paid off before getting anything else. I am really tempted to get the vibranators once Randy gets them in but may have to wait on those as well.

I am working on her every chance I get.. As soon as she is done and polished up I'll post some pics. Can't wait.. It's been a long ten years coming. I never thought this day would come.With everyones help here, Randy at RPM and my local Yamaha shop it's going to finally happen..

Late model calipers are pretty good brakes.
There probably have been many discussions here about the subject, but the right pads and good hoses make a whole lot of difference!

When replacing or reinstalling the o-rings around the pistons, I find it best to use a lubricant made for this job.
ATE make a good one.
Not using any lubricant can cause the pistons to stick to the o-rings in time.
All the work done for nothing.
