Default need the correct Brembo R1 caliper seal

Good day every one

I am rebuilding the R1 caliper set. they were all dissembled and powder coated.

some seals went bad so I need to replace( better to replace all anyway due to the age)

can any one point me the direct source of the caliper seal , it is not something we do often here and please advise me

then he needs to find out the size of the pistons on each caliper. you buy the right seal kit.

thank you for your information. my mechanic has confirmed the seals are all correct and he is assembling the calipers now. I will share the finished products in the near future.
