I again today read the NCOP for brakes and see that from Jan 2011 seals are required http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roa..._01Jan2011.pdf (see 2.7.2)
Does anyone know the real state of play? |
Peter, to get your answer (the correct one) ask your engineer. If seals are required in your instance then check with Wilwood. I remember seeing somewhere that they now have dust-seals as an option, maybe it's retro-fittable to your calipers?
