seal kit for gold brembo M/C

[war120]

Hi guys i have a front brake gold brembo M/C think it was from an RGS SFC 1000.It needs new seals. Piston dia is 17.40 mm. Having problems sourcing a kit. All help appreciated. Chris

RGS/SFC had PS14 M/Cs as standard, these obviously have a 14mm piston.

I am aware of Brembo PS17 M/Cs having been widely used in racing, but never in a road application. This would result in pretty lousy brake performance with enormous effort required at the lever together with the standard P08 calipers. Might just work out with P09s or four/six pot calipers though.

While seals for PS14 and 15 are readily available, I have no idea if seal kits are still available for the PS17 at all, Brembo have discontinued several variants of their kits.

Both my RGS and SFC had 14mm master cylinders. The 14mm rebuild kits are getting difficult to find as Brembo does not make them anymore. I bought the last 14mm kit Wolfgang had and he said there is no more. Brembo still make the 15mm rebuild kits.

I have never seen a Laverda with a 17.4mm master cylinder which would be 11/16".

Off topic but I recently bought a 14-mm PS14 overhaul kit for my SFC 1000 from Gowanloch in Australia. It worked well. Judging by the no-name packaging it may not have been manufactured by Brembo.

I cannot imagine what Laverda would have had an 11/16 inch brake master cylinder, and don’t think any did.

I have 14mm seal kits in stock, NOT OE Brembo though. But also no issues resulting...

Thanks for all the replies. Think i will try and source new lip seals as suggested by rez.
