'91 Bonty RaceLite rear brake studs

[BoyBurning]

What have folks used as suitable replacements - presuming they have been unable to find originals?

Not wanting to tap holes to take larger bolts if I can help it...


Cheers,

bontrager bosses don't have threads. the bolt that holds the brake on also holds the stud in place

I explained how to make em to this guy

Hollister: Sure. It's what I meant really, just badly explained!

That is just the info I was after though so very greatly appreciated!

Off to the shed then when I get chance...

Cheers,
BB.

problem solvers has a kit that costs too much

its just too damn cheap easy to make em though. a few simple tools and some pocket change thrown at your LBS

is yours a real '91? do you have pics?

Agreed!

Not sure what you mean... Are there 'faked' ones doing the rounds á la Zaskers...?

I have 'real' versions of both '91 and '92 RaceLite ORs - will do pics of them when complete [along with a few others] but everything is currently in storage at different UK locations following a recent house move...

I have a few pairs of these that Keith brought over for me last time he was here. Let me know if you're struggling.

Very kind offer, and I've sent you a PM.

Next thing is the stepped ferrules, although I'm sure I had a lead on these from about 3 years ago when I was last building - need to check the emails...!
