Hi, Are Grimeca caliper seals tapered or square section ? Thanks (Edit forgot to mention the bike is an ETZ251 with the later, caliper made by Grimeca)

I'm fairly certain that the seal is a square section, some calipers do have a tapered seat that gives the effect of a tapered seal.

Many thanks. The old seals I removed DID appear tapered but I could not detect any significant taper on the new ones, so I think you might be right that the taper comes from the caliper groove itself. The new seals seem to work OK so that is the main thing.
