TR4/4A Tr4a brakes

Hi guys , I am rebuilding the front brake calipers in my 66 tr4a. And I was wondering if anybody knew were I could find a new set of retaining rings for the dust boots?
Thanks for any help

Aloha Bruce - I have a set I won't need from the TR6 (I reused the originals).
I thought TRs up to 72 TR6 didn't need the rings though?

I'll give you a call.

I agree, I believe the original set up would have the boot fit in a groove in the caliper which would be secure once the piston was in (i.e no ring).

Of course it is possible that someone has installed calipers that differ from original.

Thanks for your help. I think you are right, I was sold a set of calipers from a tr6 not a tr4
