Why not fit some Blue Spots from an R6 ... the gold spots are slightly better, both will bolt onto your forks

By the time you buy the seal kit...and most have found that the pattern kits sold only fit one of the two pistons..... so buy genuine seals separately....2 from a fzr 1000 and 2 from (can't recall) which is very costly
it is much cheaper to upgrade to "spot calipers".
BTW....you never mentioned you were into RD 350,s.....I might be interested in the frame if you would courier it !
Can you not salvage 2 of the front seals and make up a pair from them for the rear ?
The front calipers should be the same as 3HE 90 onwards for seal kits...the rear is not
but all 1WG series rears are the same piston size.
Some P.O.s have fitted a 600 rear caliper....looks very similar....but slightly larger....the giveaway is the back of the caliper hits the wheel slightly or has to be ground down somewhat to clear.(best check )

Hi Will
I dont mind working with your courier to send the RD350 frame and I have loads of RD250/400 bits (that was only a small selection on the bay, more next week)
I also have a set of blue spots sitting in the garage (was going to put them on my XS1), they bolt straight onto the 3en2 forks??
Here is my LC, it started out as just a frame as you can see I dont mind some fettling

Oohh; XS1..... nice. 
I
had : 2 no. Xs2s back in 70's ..should never had been sold.
NON radial spot calipers are not only bolt on but economical.
The next upgrade is the braided lines and the matching master cyl. that uses an adjustable span lever.. (Fazer, T/cat/ace are compatible AND cheap)
The bother with me arranging the courier is payment BUT more so arranging for pick up.
It is Soooooo much easier for the seller to do this and invoice .
Most of the stuff that goes for next to nowt on the bay is collection only.....the ad. only appeals to those in a 25 mile radius.Hence the seller looses out.
Lc looks nice.
I,m attempting a TR3.
This just cost more than both of my 3EN2s combined.;
