Slider caps?

I know I’m always asking about parts, sorry! Curious if you all know if these caps (like on EHX pedals) are easy to source...

Are these:

the same as these?

I’ve got a few of the caps from Tayda on hand (but never worked with sliders and don’t have any yet), but they don’t seem stretchy enough get on a slider?

LMAO, when I read this I thought you meant slider capacitors,

and I'm like, "did I miss something?" I've seen variable capacitors, but they didn't slide....

So I searched for that, well..... I'll be.....

Ha! As it turns out with most questions, I should have tinkered more before asking… I think it’ll work, but I’m still curious about secret sources...

As an aside, now I have a much gentler pair of reverse tweezies.
