Screw it

[moanthebairns]

Right, I snapped the screw that holds my brake reservoir to my bracket at the weekend, Brembo don't do just the replacement bolt you have to buy the full kit at £50.....Now I could just washer the fk out a normal button screw and it would be fine, in fact it would be perfect. But it's bugging the fking st out of me. I would look at it every day on the ninja and it would bug the fking tits out of me. A constant reminder of me being a ham fisted fk wit.

This can't be so hard to find somewhere can it.....Can anyone? There is ones on eBay but they are £20 and anodised tat, I can see me firing up the milling machine at work shortly.

with that shoulder under the head I doubt you could find one, maybe in a breakers yard, again v unlikely.

I would use a lathe not a milling machine if you were to make one yourself.

Is it the same/similar to the KTM part in this pic:



Available from KTM for £6.42, part no 61013013050.

that's the one, its bloody sold out at ktm......obviously lots of brembo owners buying them......

Some ideas, machine one, use a bush and a button screw together, use a triumph fairing screw as they are collared though might be too short.....

This has literally cost my company hundreds looking for these, but you can't put a price on the simple stuff.

Would it be worth buying a normal socket cap head and machining a sleeve? A bit of 10mm bar and 10 minutes on the lathe and you could have spares for a few years.

I must be being thick here but I’d have just gone to my box of spare nuts & bolts etc and found one that fits. Why stress over having a genuine brembo bolt?

99/100 I would do this....... I swear to god I'm a sane person but everyone once in a while something like this bugs the utter st out of me and consumes me till I sort it 100%.

I realise I'm being a tard I'm well aware. But it's went beyond that.

Surely this is the answer until KTM/Ducati/Aprilia get the correct item back in stock.

Even worth talking to one of the KTM shops who supported the 990 series to see if they have any damaged master cylinders, it'll be worth a tenner as a drink to someone.

Look at Ebay item: 142472079335, re-list the reservoir & cap again??
