They do still sell the sell kit, but you can also buy the seals from a good hydraulic supplies company much cheaper :smiley:
Incidentally my rear callipers have a ford logo on them plus a weighted arm, apart from that they are exactly the same in look and fit  :undecided:

Yes you can get them but in the end recon caliper is the better option
