Missing one zircon insert on my brakes

Hi, does anyone have a spare ceramic puck for the front brakes?
Im missing the middle one for the 32mm piston.

As you can see on the picture a couple of the other pucks are also worn, is a replacement needed for these?

Edit: i measured the piston diameter, the midle is 32mm, are these from a GT3?

GT3 ones are 28/30/32. If I recall TT ones are 30/32/38. There are no 38 replacements available from Porsche or Brembo. Motorport sells a rebuild kit (included pistons and zircons) for the GT3 but not TT. You will need replacement calipers. The latest version of the TT calipers uses brown piston insulators which degrade rapidly.

Yes you are right, the calipers are from a 997 turbo.
Wasnt quite clear at first, but after measuring it was obvious.

Hopefully someone have some spares lying around, i've also considered having titan caps machined, but it might be expensive.

I guess yellow insolators are better than the brown ones?
