Sealed
Lockheed do repair kits, they usually supply the trade, but are willing to supply individuals as well, the kits come complete with all seals and many other components.
Caliper seals
I've only ever managed to get these from the dealer. Everyone else wants to sell you a complete reconditioned caliper. I think the last set of seals I had was about £30 for the pair of calipers but was a waste of time fitting them to the pitted pistons as they only lasted about a year before it was seized again. You can get stainless pistons turned to measure by a small company (forgotten its name - they usually do Landrover stuff) but by the time you've gone to that much bother the recon caliper may not look so bad afterall.
