    GS750 front brake caliper axle o rings

    Can anyone help please
    I have stripped down the front brake calipers on my1977 GS750 and I need to replace the o rings.........heres where my problem starts! there are three grooves on the axles each have an o ring in, the problem is that all of the schematics I have found for my bike say that you only need two o rings per axle is this correct?

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

      Your link is for a 1980 gs750 which has different calipers, if you check out this link you will see the three grooves, and the two o rings.

        It's 2 Bill. And only on the front spindle. Yeah I know - why cut 3 grooves? Pass.

        And Jim shows you where they go:

        79 GS1000S
        79 GS1000S (another one)
        80 GSX750
        80 GS550
        80 CB650 cafe racer
        75 PC50 - the one with OHV and pedals...
        75 TS100 - being ridden (suicidally) by my father
