Hi guys, I'm looking for some help. I have lost the little rubber boot for the top slider for the front calipers off my S3. They seem to be NLA from most places, (yet to try mazda), does anyone have one I can buy or does anyone know if any other boot off another car may work, or any solution, rubber hose etc.
Part number is 8341-49-250 for reference.
Many thanks.

James, I had same trouble with a a Ro 80 some years ago, in the end I went to a Scrap yard & found one the same, maybe a last resort.

Re: Front caliper slide pin boot
I just had my front calipers refurbed and they fitted new boots on both sides of the caliper so the boots must be still available?

Re: Front caliper slide pin boot
I spoke to my local mazda stealers and they were NLA from there as well.
I bought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Civic-E ... Sw-KFXfr0R they're meant for a honda but they fit spot on on the top sliders, and came with a bit of grease too. I think they'll work on the rears too.
I saw the link above just, they look different to the originals, and are more expensive anyway. Thanks though
