Hi all,
We just replaced the brake pads of my card (F-Type V6, 2015 model)
Now the rubber that make it watertight should need replacement too, however the dealer say they are not for sale separately and wants to sell the whole caliper.
The calipers are still fine, we would only need the rubbers.
Any idea where I can buy this?
Thank you!

Are the caliper rubber seals trashed, or just cracked in one place? Or, do you feel you need to change them only as Good Practice?
I've tolerated cracked rubber seals (on other cars) for years. I 'pack' high temp synthetic brake grease (that doesn't deteriorate rubber) into the seal area, then finally coat the exposed area of the seal with the grease. No issues with sticking calipers after that.

They are quite trashed after a trackday where the brackes got overheated

Also I for one am not sure which parts you are talking about, are you talking about the front brake caliper slide pin rubbers (the sleeves the slide pins sit in) and/or the rear slide pin rubbers (which sit outside the calipers rather than in the calipers)?
Or are you talking about the brake piston seals?
Once we know exactly which parts you need we should be able to find them for you.
