I have bought the little O-rings from VW, but most people don't know that you 
can get them there. I've been rebuilding calipers for 30 years and in all that 
time I had never seen a caliper kit that contained those seals until just last 
year, when 1 kit out of a pair that I got came with them. I believe this one 
had a Beck-Arnley part # on it. Does that sound familiar?

In all honesty, I have the seals, but I've NEVER needed or used one.
