200tq20v Calipers

[Kneale Brownson]

According to my old version of ETKA, the UFO seals kit is part # 251 698 471B.  A number of suppliers list that part number as a seal kit for sale, including FAP99, Don Rosen Imports and WorldImpex, but the latter two indicate it fits 89-91 200 and V8 cars, so I suspect they've crossed it over to the Type 44 cars, which use 443- or 447- 698 471  as numbers for dual piston front calipers.  Fap shows a boot and round seal, and might actually be correct for the UFO, but it doesn't include the pin boot.

boot]. What I did was find a pair of used calipers with intact boots [used UFO 
calipers come up for sale routinely] and swapped that pair for the pair with 
a torn boot. I now have a donor set of calipers, which, if you're in the 
200q20v for the long haul, isn't a bad thing. A rebuild kit would be nice 
though!!

Does anyone know of a source for the UFO calipers? Audi says they 
are out of stock. I checked with the largest dealer in Germany and 
they say 'no more'.
Where does one get caliper rebuild kits for these?
