U brake help

[retrobikeguy]

Tough one here guys, :?
Does anyone have or know where I can get hold of a pair of U-brake screw in bosses/mounts, I imagine like what you would have off the back of a Zaskar and would have like a hex nut Base like this one

if you have any kicking around in those spare parts bins or off an old knackered cracked zaskar you've seen in the back of a shop guys, chuck em my way
Please

bolts directly to the frame

Yeah I've seen some similar BMX specific versions , they on to the brake bridge but I am after just the bolt in studs, the holes are there but no brake studs , I think that a u-brake stud is also shorter than a canti stud otherwise I would use canti studs.

Hmmmm , I did look on there first but couldn't find what I was looking for, loads of other useful bits tho.
suppose I could email them and ask.

anythings worth a try eh.

U brakes bosses are usually a bit bigger than cantis .

U brakes bosses are usually a bit bigger than cantis .

do you mean the threaded part ?

 

[cchris2lou]

Yes , on the Haro frame I had , it would have been impossible to use cantis brakes on the back as it was designed for a U brake . the bosses were just too wide to fit in the cantis arms .

Ok, I found a company in the states that do them but haven't had a reply off them yet
its like the black bit that threads in that I am after.
