Fred,
I=92ve got a used and cleaned up complete slave cylinder (caliper, pads and
bolts).
I also have a spare bleed screw.
In my bag of a mono brake I took apart and prepped for a spare is an O rin
g also which appears to be 1 3/8 ID 1 5/8 inch OD, 1/8 inch thick O ring is
the seal for the piston.
The photos I sent to your personal email.

Bud=85forgive me, but when I look at the exploded view, 29-8, in the XS Bui
ld Manual, I don=92t see any hint that the Europa =93Brake Slave Cylinder L
G23" breaks down into pieces or contains an O ring.
>From what you=92ve written, I=92m thinking that if I remove the two AN4H-15
A bolts, doing so will allow me access to the O ring that you=92ve mentione
d=85Please confirm=85or=85Is the puck, or slave cylinder, just a block with
a hole in it?=85and if so, where is this O ring?
Please forgive my ignorance.
My leak appears to be coming from the bleeder screw; however, I have, as pe
r the manual, wrapped the bleeder screw in PTFE tape.
BTW, I=92ve really trashed the hex portion of the bleeder screw, so I=92d l
ove to find a replacement.

Fred,
I've had good luck simply buffing out the pucks and the caliper. It's just
aluminum, and rarely does the puck get damaged. It does get a bit rough fr
om corrosion. A freshly smoothed caliper and puck with a new O ring seems
to work well. I use a cotton wheel on a Dremel type tool and some red jewe
lers rouge after a sanding with 1000 grit paper to shine it up. O rings ar
e tough to find. Especially the square edged ones. I'm no help there.
I have no spare calipers as I have a Europa mono in the shop with some seri
ous gear/brake issues and may have to rebuild everything! I find it odd th
at the gear and brakes passed inspection for the last two annuals in this c
ondition.
I'm afraid if your disk and caliper are in bad shape the cost of replacemen
ts is getting harder. Consider the Berringer Brake unit as a long term sol
ution. I'm just too old to worry about long term, so I spend the time and
buff and clean.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly

Gentlemen,
I=92m hoping to source a mono brake puck here in the US, perhaps from someo
ne who=92s converted to trigger.
Please let me know if anyone might have one for sale,
