Hi Mike
Thanks for the excellent fix mentioned. I too have a broken zipper slider. Can you please advise which model you ordered from zipperstop.com as they have plenty. The enscription on my broken slider is YKK Vislon USA 10V which I assume is the same on yours. The zip chain is fine and I don't want the hastle of sewing on a new complete zip.

Well I have found a very cheap fix. A. Feibusch Corp at Welcome To ZipperStop | Zipperstop
will supply new runners for the zips. I just received (and fitted) two at
the grand cost of £3.85, yes under four quid delivered from the USA. Fitting
them was not too difficult you just have to snip the sealed end off the zip
with cutters, remove the old slider, slide on the new one. I then bound the
end back together with a cable tie.
That's over 200 quids worth of bags fixed for less than a fiver and half an
hours work.
