Front caliper rebuild part needed

I have one leaking caliper & need to purchase what the parts list refers to as a piston packing.
I see that kits to do all 4 is available from our vendors, but I only have one damaged packing, the rest have about 1 year & zero miles on them since being sleeved. Paying almost $100 for a kit to use one seal out of is a bit much. I see that XKE kits will work but when I checked Moss Motors, they list 3 kits. Any idea which one fits? They show series II, series III & series II/III.
Peace, Pat

Drove out to Sin City Datsuns today & picked up a rebuild kit. I’ll get it installed this evening. Thanks for reminding me that Brian had them!
