So im having no luck finding brake pads or a seal kit for these calipers,
Old 4 piston m4 Caliper #8. I'm in the US but don't really care where I can get them.
Got the decals on, new hoops should be ready this week and thats about it,
Except the brake issue

You've done a good thread hijack @Tio68 
Usually it's me doing that.
Those seals are basically NLA, and have been like that for a long time. Someone on here (or maybe IG) found a supplier for the DH4 but they're the M4 which came later and had a thinner cross section seal used. The best option might be to speak to a local hydraulics supplier to see what they can get hold of. They'll need to be EPDM so that the Dot fluid doesn't destroy them but something should be available. Or, if they're not dry rotted then you may have some success rejuvenating them with Hunters silicone plumbing lubricant or similar.
