Front Caliper pin seal kit?

Hi, my calipers were sticking so I overhauled them. The calipers were fine, just gunked up with old brake fluid. I had a the seal kit for the actual calipers but I can't seem to find a kit to replace the seals around the caliper pins. They were dried and cracked.

I have seen a few kits like this
NEW Centric KIT Brake Hardware Front Mazda RX 7 85 84 83 82 81 117 45011 | eBay

with springs and seals but none of them seem to like the T shaped seal with the bumper end that sits in the bottom caliper hole. Or is it just not an accurate picture of what the kit looks like.

Seems a waste to buy and ship rebuilt calipers and cores back and fourth just because I can't find those pin seals.

If anyone knows a source, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

They are hard to come by. I cannot remember where I sourced them from this past winter.
I know mazdatrix is out of them.
