    GS750 brake calliper piston size

    After damaging the front calliper seals (see projects & rebuilds), just been online to try to order some new ones. Found that Motorcycle Products are about the only place to just get the seals, plenty of full rebuild kits out there but I only need the seals. Bit puzzled though, the bike is a 1979 GS750E if I am correct, as it has the round master cylinder and twin callipers at the front. The MC website lists rear seals for 38mm piston for the rear, 43mm for the front for the GS750E. The pistons from my bikes front callipers are 38mm !. Does anyone know if the 38mm rear calliper seals would work for the front callipers in this case ?. Can`t see why not, same diameter and I think same depth, but am not sure. Could be I am missing something, so will phone them to ask the question, but thought it best to ask here first. On their listings it also has some with "small lip" dust seals, some with large. Guess that refers to the lip on the calliper itself ?. Any advice much appreciated.
