o-ring holders on caliper bracket

I'm trying to find some o-ring holders (I guess that's what they're called) that hold the o-rings for the caliper pins onto the caliper bracket. The ones on my '77 KZ 1000 LTD have rusted enough that they won't hold the o-rings in place properly. I can't find them in a parts diagram anywhere and the parts guys at the local bike shop didn't have any luck either. In the pics there are three still on the bracket and one removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ill check the garage tomorrow

The parts diagram at kawasaki.com shows the o'rings, and also indicates they are still "active" (meaning available through Kawasaki dealerships).

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc.

Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

Good Fortune!

I already have the new o-rings. They came with the caliper rebuild kit I got from Z1. It's the holders (chrome in this case, although they don't need to be) that I can't find. Two aren't in too bad shape, but the other two are severely rusted and there isn't much left of them. This is for the rear caliper, but I would like to get enough for the front two calipers for when I tear them apart too. (12 total). The parts diagram at kawasaki.com doesn't seem to show them either. Perhaps the o-ring grooves were machined into the bracket in some cases? I haven't taken the front brakes apart yet, maybe they are different? Here is a pic of the o-ring (right) and the holder (left). Thanks for the input!

OK; it looks like you are trying to find part number 43088-002 (see diagram). If that is the case, you can get them new old stock at the link below the diagram for $3 each. Ed
