HeLP!! Cannondale M800 Beast of the East (1995 i think)

[t_p87]

Hi,

I am really struggling with one of these frames. One of the rear brake bosses is now useless to me as the bolt has snapped off and as such I need a new boss for it. I am having a hard time figuring out what size thread goes in the frame. It is not a standard M10 and I'm not sure if it is M8. I have tried loads of different ones but had no luck!

Does anybody know what size will fit this??

The thread is 8mm across but i am not sure about the pitch. Is it a bizarre thread specific to this frame?? It has been suggested that it may be imperial 3/8 unc. Is this correct and if so does anybody know where i can get one??

Any help would be fantastic!!

Thanks.

Being American it might not be metric.Try Qwerty Cycles,they do do Cannondale spares,I managed to get a spare gear hanger for my 1991 Cannondales off them.
