Default Caliper question

Got some Escos calipers 2nd hand but one of the rubbers around the piston has a small hole in it. Is it a dust seal ? Ford say no longer available even though i believe the calipers were used on a number of models. Can you get them, where from and are they easy to change ? cheeRS

Just a dust seal mate, i wouldnt worry too much.

Or, as Jambo says, Bigg Red calipers, but i would phone then personally, i tried contacting them through ebay and didnt get much response. I bought seal sets for my 4 pots a couple of years ago
