i have a prob! seals for piston in caliper are discontinued

so...

i placed an order for my 2 seals (o-ring and seal) for my 1987 KZ400 front caliper...

they took the oder (online) and now i find out the parts are "discontinued"...
(oh, i used babbitsonline.com and they say that kaw. has discontinued them)

what do we do???

do you guys use seals from other calipers?

should i try and clean the old ones (i saved them, thank godness!)...

?

thanks...

(sorry to be dominating the board here, i'm just eager to get these brakes dealt with)

If not already done, might try Kawasaki.com to see whether the parts are common to other models.

did you check with jeff, it may not be listed on his site, but he may have them

It looks like they were only used on KZ400. I hate it when they do that. Why not use the same caliper on a KZ400 as they did on the KZ650 ect is beyond me.
