Dan,
Are you sure you have the correct kit? The early caliper (stamped 16P),
uses no circlip to retain the boot to the caliper, the later (stamped
16PB) uses a circlip to retain the boot to the caliper.
The body of the caliper is stamped near the mounting bolt "boss", on the
inner side of the caliper.
For illustrations of the different assemblies, consult the Moss or TRF
catalogs.
If the kit is not the correct one, the boot will not fit correctly, even
though the seal fits in the bore.
Make sure you have the right kit.
