Seals for front brake caliper

[robin]

Got a set of new chromed calipers from big mike at inzane so i ordered new seals and pistons to put in my question is one is skinnier than the other so which one goes on the top and the bottom also it seems the seals are  a little larger than the grooves in the caliper do i need to just try and work them in?

thanks in advance, Robin

I just went up to the shed where there's an old rear caliper with no pistons in it.

The bottom groove in the cylinders is much wider than the top, it doesn't look
the same on your fronts?

When I put in new seals, I lube them with whatever brake fluid I'll be using
and mash them in, they usually fight back a little, but they should be a perfect fit
and pop right in.

It should be evident by looking at the grooves which is wider. At least that's what I remember when replacing my seals a couple years ago.
