I do believe Mat may have been taking the piss, just a tad!
It makes no difference what slot you put the pad spigot in, it will always do it.
Worn sliders will give a clonk of course, but the CLASSIC clonk will always be present, unless you manufacture a fatter slider bar to take out as much slop as you can whilst still allowing the pads to, er, slide...

Ah....I see! Too subtle for Mr Bandit Mat!
I tried putting a strip of Ligarex under the pads but it was too tight. Brass shim stock should do it.

This thread may explain things...that's the first time anyone has described my sense of humour as subtle - in fact the first time subtle has been used to describe me at all!

I seem to remember that Holts was a manufacturer of Anti-Freeze! Not of Austrian extraction are they?
Pedant's note: Wrong kind of glycol - the Austrian wine scandal was all about the use of
diethylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol. That particular glycol's less poisonous than alcohol, I'm led to believe.....
