I have a set of M665 SLX brakes on my full sus.

The rear caliper seals are leaking, and not serviceable

I want to replace the caliper with another that has the same inline hose fitting and brake pad shape.

I have found Deore M535 are the same form factor. Are there any others out there? I don't mind NOS. Any links to where I can buy one would be great

Why not get deore M615 caliper and it will come with new pads, it has the bolt-in fitting you need rather than a banjo. Should work fine with your levers and cost about £20+

Calipers that took those pads were M595 / 596 / 665 / 666 / 775 / 776 / 965 / 975, if it helps.

I've got a Deore M615 caliper that (I think) works. Yours for free if you want to give it a go?

Has decent looking pads in (not the same as the ones above though).

Cheers guys. I kind of answered my own question when I realised I had some LX M585 on the shopping bike. So I've successfully raided the caliper off that to keep me on the trails this summer. I'll buy a caliper to replace the shopping bike one in due course and bring it out to France later this year.

Thanks for the offer stevie, but all my brakes use the same pads, it's just easier.
