Dezzy you're right it does look really funny with the glove on there. I should have inflated it so it looks like an udder
The glove fits almost perfectly with thumb going over the eyelet post, and the 3rd finger going over the handbrake lever. The plan was to smother silicone sealant around the glove openings and zip-tie the big opening after application of sealant.
I have these thin nitrile gloves but I think they wont last, too thin. I need some thicker gloves. Also my mechanic is going to think I'm bonkers if I hand them over to him like this
So considering the calipers are only £95 each and last roughly 10years, I'm trying a less promising approach, just to see what happens. I sprayed both calipers with ACF-50 into the pivot hole. On one caliper I smeared high-temp silicone sealant as a makeshift seal/washer around the opening. I don't think this is going to last but lets see.
On the second caliper I'm going to try to find a nitrile washer that will fit and see how long that lasts and if it keeps dirt out.
Also I wish I had time to get the calipers painted.
