stillreel Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I'm refitting the caliper seals in the TR6 and should have paid closer attention while dissembling. I've notice the cross-section profile of the ring gasket has one higher outside diameter edge rather than a straight forward rectangular shape; that is it has a peak on one side. I'm thinking the higher edge goes inboard toward the brake fluid pressure, with the lower edge permitting in and out movement. Have I got this correct? Thanks Edited June 20, 2019 by stillreel clarify Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobG Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yes, that is how I installed mine and they work fine. I found a picture on the web somewhere showing the cross section, not easy to find. Will have another look. My description is a taper wedge shape and the thicker wedge in first so it makes pressing the piston in easier and then as you say the brake fluid then has a firmer profile for the fluid pressure.
