Any one know where I can find some?

They are different, apparently, EPDM rather than the usual type to take LHM...

LHM type, same as GS, surely?

Hmmm Brake Engineering seemed to think they were EPDM, which I was skeptical about but they didn't have any in so probably are LHM.

see Brake piston for the brake caliper. Per piece. Suitably for Citroen 2CV + Citroen GS. Or.Nr.: GX2526601A.
Are 2cv seals the same?, would measure mine but they are somewhere deep down in the car. ;)

GS pistons are 45mm at the front rather than 42mm I believe.

Ami Super front brakes are definitely the same as GS.
Ami Supers use LHM. GSs use LHM.

Front brake repair kit listed, as one of their own Repro parts. Rob's a good bloke. Loves his Amis, too...

Let's go back a step... What exactly are you trying to get/do?

I think he want's a set of seals for GS calipers that he can use with DOT5/silicon fluid. Presumably what he needs are Axel caliper seals, but I expect it's easier to have them made especially than find a set of those.

That's what I was starting to wonder...

Might it be easier to change the rest of the system to LHM?
