Default Vortex Frame Slider Question - F4 (F4i too though)

A few months ago I scored a set of Vortex frame slider pucks... havent gotten around to putting them on yet..

I am going to pick up a set of bases next... (my current sliders are one piece delrin and they are white anyway... not a big fan of white with the silver/red)

Anyway.. from what I have read on here, the pucks are held on to the base via a small retaining bolt... so there are two bolts that go into the engine mounts, the bases themselves, and the puck retaining bolts....

The pucks I have are just that... pucks only... no bolts in the brand new unopened packages...

Here is my question... are all of the hardware pieces in the base kit?

Here is a picture of the base kit I am looking at:



Is it all there?

Thanks,
Adam

aren't the pucks basically held onto the bases via set screws?

sooo you have the pucks but you need the bases still? wouldn't the set screws be included in the puck set and not the base set?

The delrin sliders suck anyway, mine snapped off when low sided awhile back... basically pointless...

I believe (once again not sure) that the Woodcraft ones are like that.. using a set screw into the puck from the side.. while the Vortex ones go in the center and thread into the bases.,, vut yeah they are set screws kinda... I have read old posts on here that they came with the bases and came with the pucks.. these are unopened, new ones.. but they were sitting on a shelf for a while... I sent an email to Vortex to be sure.

Vortex said that the image above shows their old packaging.. and that the new ones come with the bolts... they can be bought seperately for $5 each roughly..

Good info for future searches I guess..

Vortex sliders suck, they stick out maybe 1/4 of an inch from the fairing on my bike...and they were professionally installed by a dealer....
