And Hope don't seem to have spares listed on the website for the above, any ideas where I can get new caliper seals? Will ring Hope when I know whether I'm after E4 of M4 caliper seals.

Cheers

Thanks, I was hoping they'd use the same ones on some of their other brakes. I thought the E4 and M4 had different sized pistons? I suppose I can measure them when I split the other caliper. Are the pistons the same as well then and the pads? Don't suppose you know about seals for a Hope C2 as well, are they the same size as any of the modern brakes?

I also have a hope lever that needs new piston seals. It's one of the open levers that has the cylindrical reservoir, if anyone knows what the name of these levers was (Pro?) and what the seals I need are?

Cheers

Just looked, the Mono M4 has two different sized pistons, does the E4 use the smaller or the larger piston diameter?

18mm pistons they are, both are the same size and I know one is an E4, so I guess the other is too.
