Looking for a small brake part

[allegro]

Specifically the little round spring carrier found on caliper brake pivot bolts. They are usually an integral part of the bolt but i have seen seperate ones, just cant think where. Need 50 or so.
Any ideas gents?

Do you have a picture?

There is a cycling and fishing shop somewhere in Scotland that did random spares, boxes of cable crimp ends for £10, that sort of thing, worth a google, think it's RT cycles

Thanks Gazza, that's the part. I only want the round bit with the slot. Deffo seem them somewhere but where is beyond me :/

The old steel Raleigh brakes had a separate spring holder, with a British cycle thread tapped through it, 1/4 x 26tpi, and some of the later Weinmann brakes had a plastic one, but this is back in the eighties, not sure where you will find fifty of them these days...

They are great for odd stuff

I suspect you could get them made at a machine shop quite easily and cheaply, especially if you need fifty.

I can't picture where this fits but I am used to modern brakes, but I suspect the dimensions/fit of the round part is not critical (?) so if you don't have one to hand I suspect you can successfully estimate the dimensions.

If you have one to hand, no problem at all, just take it to a local machine shop.

Thanks guys, its starting to look like getting some machined up is the way to go, short of buying cheap calipers and stripping that one part out of them :/
