Slide pins for rear calipers

Hi Guys, I have had my calipers powder coated and refurbed, and I have rebuilt them. I am at the point of fitting the slide pins back into the carrier, however there appears to be 2 types of slide pins. One has two flat edges and the other has what looks like tiers. Can anyone tell me the part number for replacements or tell me which one goes where? I have exhaused google now.

I have pics but cant upload them for some reason.

Thanks guys
Matt

from what i remember

the flats go to the top of the caliper and the stepped to the bottom,


1 of each to each caliper, 1x stepped, 1 x flats

I fitted mine the wrong way the first time, you'll notice if they're wrong because they'll bind

Many many thanks. I can finally fit them now. after 2 months off the road. I will update with some pics when fitted. Lime Green calipers with black wheels looks ace.

Thanks again.
