Put new pads and discs on the back at the weekend and noticed that one of the rear piston gaitors looks a little suspect and not longed for this worldDoes anyone know where I can get a new one from, or if its even possible? service box didnt help me much  This is little rubber boot/gaitor bit (ps Owain I borrowed your photo)  ________________________________________ Darkstar |

they are dust seals, they stop crap getting onto the piston and stop it seizing upbrakeparts.co.uk do them, as do BigRed etc.. not too dear and really easy to change. they just slip over a lip on the caliper ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

next question is, is it 30 or 32mm ??as apparently they changed in 97 and mines an R reg made in 97, or did they just change from phase 1 to phase 2/3?? ________________________________________ Darkstar |

all 6's have 32mm pistons, though it doesn't affect the dust cover as they're the same on a 30mm piston.IIRC the peugeot-citroen rebuild kit comes with both 30 and 32mm piston seals anyway, they use the same kit on the 306 as they do the 205 which only used the 30mm pistons. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
