Default *** Found! DIY HP2 caliper "centre guide seal" fix ***
I've found the perfect solution for damaged centre guide seals on the HP2 brake caliper.

A 4cm section cut from a piston dust cover boot equiped on many MTB front suspension forks (such as the one shown below) will create an **EXACT** lenght and diamenter match (repeat an exact match!) to replace a damaged OEM centre guide seal for the B5 S4 HP2 caliper.
