cable clamp screw for v-brakes

[john_p]

I have an old pair of Tektro v-brakes I'm trying to refit

only problem is, I have lost the screw and right-angled cable clamp that fits on top of the lever arm.

Attempts to rob similar part from the collection have failed.

Any ideas where I can get this screw ? Is it a standardish size?

I have no idea if its a standard size but I have the clamp (not the screw) off a old pair of STX RC cantilever brakes which looks like it might might fit... happy to post it to you.

Half-decent Fred Dibnah type character would make one for you.

You can get a set of shimano brakes for £14.

You could try making one with an old bit of mending strip, a dremel, and a pair of pliers. The bolt will be easy enought to replace. Ot ask in your LBS. Likely they'll have a spare one somewhere.

Try the set screw out of the bottle holder. If that fits then you know you can hunt for an M5 screw.

He can get a screw and washer for bog-all. Budget bikes are budget so the less amount of times you spend on it the better.

I am trying to slap one together and the thought of spending £14 would send a shiver down my spine!
