Default 88 S4 caliper seals

I've checked the big three websites for caliper piston seals for my 1988 S4, not listed -the manual shows pictures of the "scraper seal" however I have the combined seal and dust cover type-my pistons have the lip at the top -and to say the least I am hitting a brick wall!
I don't need a caliper rebuild kit-the pistons are 100%-just the seals, can anyone supply me with a PET number or even better a supplier?
Please ignore the seals pictured-these are not the ones I have -the piston is correct!

There was thread in here maybe 6 months or year ago with source which sold sets that were not exactly right but combining parts from two sets would provide all needed parts. Obviously can't find it now even though would need it too.

We saw it, but chose to ignore it, just like all your other posts!




Actually, I was trying to find seals/dust boots on that site, and couldn't find any. Got a direct link?

Stoptech recommended Zeckhausen for us east coast peeps. David seems very knowledgable.

I just received my seals from Zechausen. They had the best price I found, -50 a set, meaning per caliper. They want piston sizes so I just dropped a caliper at each end and once you remove the dust seal you can measure the dia.
The service was good, shipped to my door.

I don't think they are available. But I think the pressure seals are the same. I'm concerned because I need new dust boot too. I'm going to check to see if the updated piston/dustboot can be retrofitted. I think it can, but it will set me back $600 for 4 calipers. Ouch. There's got to be a better way.

PET lists 36mm repair kit 92835191901
also 44mm kit with same P/N for '88
(the '86-'87 caliper had 36mm & 42mm pistons, the 42mm kit 92835191900 is listed at $44.25 which PET shows includes the piston )

928 Specialist lists P/N 92835191901 in a P/N search at $44.77, but with no description or mention of mm size , but if you search brake parts the item does not show.
'88 dust seal kit ?
So a call to 928 Specialists would hopefully clear it all up.
