use the old one, they dont actually wear out like people think- the rubbers on the bolts do. stick a 0.5mm m14 washer (i use shims) under the bolt before the rubber goes on and this sorts it. even brand new they will leak because of this. if i have to il upload a photo later

Do you use a sealnt aswell kiz?? Are you saying that thr bolt hits up against the end of the holeits going into and that shimming the rubbers means yoh get thr cirrect clamp load on tthr cover?
