I had them already, but they are commonly available in the sizes you'll need (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2mm) from RC model shops and online.

I shouldn't necessarily bank on needing them though? Some XTZs seem to have snug fitting pivots, yet others, like mine are loose. Luck of the draw really. I think it all depends on how conscientious the person was who welded up the pivot mounts at the time the frame was built. They probably vary between the Italian, Spanish and French built bikes too?
