I rebuilt my front brakes today and have come across a problem maybe others are already aware of, the new ( genuine Honda from Dave S )calliper seals don’t appear to have a “dished” shape.
The old ones when removed were clearly as per the manual ( Honda & Clymer ) with one side narrower than the other so that when viewed in profile they appear “cambered” or “dished” just like the diagram in the manual – HOWEVER, try as I might I couldn’t see the right or wrong way to put the new seals in !!!
I tried measuring with a vernier and marking round with a pen onto a sheet of paper but I coudn’t detect a difference so in the end I just fitted them, so far they appear to be working and sealing ???
Anybody else experienced this and able to confirm that the new seals don’t have a right and wrong way round ?? and that they’ll continue to work !!??
Perhaps I’ll take it up with Honda and try to get explanation.
