I have this conversion sat in my garage,Got the calipers only to find the seals were buggered.Ordered a set of seals and tried to fit them but buggered them up in the process.Ordered a 2nd pair and buggered them up aswell! I fitted seals to my 280mm mondeo calipers fine but these 300mm calipers have a metal rim inside the rubber seal.Seems to be nigh on impossible to fit them correctly into the groove in the bore

Really need them done this week too.
