Wanted M734 cantilevers - Orphans or pairs

[Bagsy]

Just discovered 2 dodgy helicoil repairs on my cantilevers from a previous owner. Looking for one or 2 orphans to replace them (bolt side).

Not looking to pay eBay 'glamour' prices as this is for my rough and ready daily commuter!

Or a pair of M757s if anyone has any for sensible money?

M734 came with Helicoils in them. Here's a photo of a NOS/NIB one :

Thanks - that explains it!! Mine are coming out so I'll need to see if I can get replacements fitted.

I am by no means an expert on helicoils, but ... perhaps you can remove them, put some loctite on the cantilever side and put the helicoils back in? That might be enough to keep them in place.

Then again we are talking about one of the most important bolts on the entire bike. You may not want to take chances with that one.
