I've found just the pins at bigg red, no bolts of course but using them with the old bolts will also be fine I suppose?

everyone sells the kit with the rubber parts, this is because the rubber parts are often the real cause of the issue.

I would always get new rubber boots

Thanks all. I already have the new rubber parts though. So I just bought 4 new sliders to go with them.

Hmm I got the new sliders. The end flares are slightly wider as you can see in the photo, and the diameter of the body is 12.9mm whereas the old ones are 13.5mm. I can rattle the new ones around in the caliper more than the old ones. Also the groove where the rubber sits is 2.5mm wide on the new ones but 3.0mm on the old... Is any of this bad or not a problem?
