Hi as in title i have a set of callipers i am trying to rekit. i have got a kit that fits amd new pistons but on one of the slide bolts there is an anti vibration rubber that no one can get and is not in any kits. (One slide needs a rubber the other is solid) can anyone source the correct rubber for the slide or less likley anyone have 2 solid slide pins they want to sell. (Cant see a problem with 2solid pins apart from a bit more of a rattle may be) see pics for 2 different pins. cheers

I had the same problem.......don't laugh I found the solution at Bunnings in the garden / water irrigation section. It is a Toro hose joiner which has the exact Inside & outside diameter of the caliper slide pin that is supposed to be insulated.
Has been ok for more than a year...............

We used to have loose rubber for the job years ago... but all gone
