Hi

I have some G spec brakes and the rubber diaphragm has started to leak, I basically need a new one but can't find anyone who stocks anything.

Anyone have any idea where to get the parts in the UK?

This is the part.

    Thank you, sadly they cannot get the part in.

    I tried TRP USA directly, said they can ship it, just waiting for a quote.
    The brakes were £300 new, silly that you can't get parts, I wonder if it's this difficult in the USA to get hope parts.

    I think Hope mostly make their own stuff. That means they probably made their own mould tool (will keep it forever) and have a machine in the corner in which they can make as many seals as required whenever they like.

    TRP will probably have a supplier who makes lots of other seals. The cost of making spares away from the original production run will probably be hardly worthwhile.

    Fingers crossed they can supply a seal at a reasonable price.

    1 cap and 1 diaphragm came to $31 delivered, which is about £20, so pretty happy.

    I guess the American market is biggest enough on its own for someone like TRP not to bother else where.
