I'm replacing the pistons and seal.rings on my calipers and the instructions say I need Disc Brake Lubricant to put it all back together.
I tried to get this in a couple of places including Halfords to no avail. Is more commonly known by a different name or something.
Could I just coat them in DOT4 instead? I get paranoid at times like this...

New one on me I have always used brake fluid to wipe over prior to assembly but I googled this
Usually called brake grease, or rubber grease.
Make sure to read the can/bottle/tube before using it though - there is at least one red brake grease out there that has dire warnings in the small print on back that it is not suitable for internal rubber components, even though that is not quite what it says on the front of the tube.
Persoanly I'd just use a bit of brake fluid.
