Replacement Hydraulic brake caliper slides

I bought a hydraulic brake which still works well for my Predator 212cc Doodle bug several years ago and I noticed that the rubber caliper slides are failing. I would hate to have to buy another hydraulic brake just to replace them. Does anyone know if you can buy replacement caliper pin slides for the hydraulic brake? 20240603_165251.jpg

Was the caliper expensive? Maybe you could check with the supplier who sold it to you.
When I have any problems with mechanical calipers, or when the pads wear out, I just order a new caliper for twelve bucks.

I bought it at least 7 or 8 years ago. No warranty anymore. Like the rubber deteriorated. The caliper still works well the caliper slide covers fell apart.

I didn't really mean warrantee, I meant maybe the seller had replacement parts.
I don't think those calipers are very expensive.
You could apply some silicone caliper grease to the rubber to keep them loose and stop the rot.
Most parts stores will have the grease in small packets at the register.
