DB30 hydraulic brake parts

[Dudlydoodleright]

My hydraulic brake has 2 rubber bushings that have to be replaced. They are the ones that allow the caliper to flex a bit between the mounting plate and the caliper body. Seems a shame to replace the unit for want of a couple of r mini bushings. Anyone know of a source of the hydraulic brake parts?

You may have to adapt or DIY something. Perhaps some heat shrink tubing could be used to build-up the clearance and provide the necessary cushion?

I didn't see any, but an entire caliper is about $20.

Maybe find some vacuum hose to slide in there?

I found the little berle shaped bushing was in the bottom of its boss. I was able to tease it back into proper alignment. The other is torn at it's base but I was able to put it in place, it works but it is too risky. I think shrink tubing to replace the rubber may work for now , but I think I should do something more reliable.

The marine style with the glue inside may be that little bit more robust.

stack up some O-rings or just leave it be .
