Cutter (airhead list) said I was right on.
Haven't ridden it, but the brakes work and the pistons retract well (wheel spins freely).

That's interesting. I've never noticed that they weren't square. I can understand the old seal being distorted over time because of the way they work but Just to be clear are you saying the new ones are not exactly square.

Yup, definitely not square. Looked at the new ones under a lighted magnifier and there is a few thousands of an inch difference between one edge and the other.
Mentioned it to Tom Cutter on the Airhead list and he said he'd seen it before. Not many bikes do this.
