Shimano XTR M952 Shifter Clamp Bolt - SNAPPED BOTH! Help

[designer1]

I have some XTR M952 STI shifter/brake units, and both the bolts have snapped - I've managed to extract the bolt that was left inside, but now i'm faced with sourcing replacements. I've tried everywhere locally to no avail - I cant be the only person who's come up against this?

The bolt has an allen key head.

Thanks for any help in advance.

PS - These didn't snap whilst I was tightening them, for the record - must be getting old! Like me!

Try a chainring bolt.
I'm sure they have the same thread/diameter.

Edit.

Just checked my shifters with the chainring bolt on one of them.
It's actually a 950!.
Not sure if the 950/952 used the same clamp style.

No harm in trying though.
