source for Tiger brake parts?

    Finally got Dad's '96 Tiger 900 wheels back with new rims and spokes, total
    of £453 including refitting the tyres with new tubes and set of pads for the
    rear - via a local guy who does work for the classic bike restoration crowd.
    Six-week turnaround but he seems to have made a good job of them.

    Anywho, as both the front and read brakes had siezed I knew I had more work
    to do other than just bolt the wheels back on. The rear disc was worn away
    and I'd managed to find a pattern replacement rear disc on fleabay for £50,
    which looks like a result, but I now find that the caliper seals are shot,
    the rubber boot on the mounting plate seal (sliding caliper) is perished and
    the sleeve for the torque arm is missing.

    I *think* the seal kit is #T2020505 and the calipers on the front are the
    same as the rear, so assuming the front calipers also need rebuilding, I'm
    in the market for 3 of these, 3 of the rubber boot things (they aren't shown
    in the parts microfiche PDF I found) and that missing sleeve, which is shown
    as #3000045-T0301 M10 and appears to have a top-hot shape.

    So where's a good source for these on-line or mail-order?

    Interesting...

    The pads I have list fitments including;
    LT-F300FK2
    LT-A500FY/K1
    LT-F500FW
    KLF300
    KLF400

    XTZ750

    The LT's are Suzuki quads, the KLF's are Kawasaki quads and the XTZ is the
    Yamaha Super Tenere, so there's a definite Jap connection.

    I've sent a note to the guys at that website to see if they know, or can
    work out, which bits are the right ones.

    Cheers,

    Just looked up the pad fitment for the Triumph in the EBC book and what
    they list is compatible with a whole load of Jap off-roaders if you
    compare the other pad manufacturers part numbers. They also fit some
    Italian bikes, MZ125s etc. This doesn't mean they are the same caliper,
    but pad fitment is the same. EBC say the Tiger has a specific pad, but
    Vesrah, Dunlop and SBS don't. Knowing EBC I'd be inclined to go with
    Vesrah's word.

    I'd be very surprised if they weren't Japanese calipers, and
    specifically Nissin ones.
