Researching a Girling Catalogue, for 3/4 inch seals suitable for DOT 3/4/5.1
automotive brake fluid, The ring seals are for ford escort front cylinders
and the cup seals are for Mazda rear cylinders, they meet the right spec for
Diameter/ depth and material (Ethylene-Proplene)
The SP 2044 ring seals need to have there centre slightly enlarged to fit
over the piston and maintain the correct seal to the bore, If you don't the
seals overall diameter will increase beyond 3/4 inch, and the piston will
stick in the bore and not return easily ( don't ask how i know this)
I have a some Buna-N (nitrile) O rings suitable for the MATCO Brake
calipers used on the tri-gear,can be used with Mil-h-5606 or Silicone DOT5
fluid or ATF
surplus to requirements so if you need any FOC give me a call
