XTR V brake pivot covers/stickers

[ragnarock]

Anyone know where I can source some of the discs that cover the pivots on a set of XTR M960 v brakes?
I have a full set of these lovelies but one arm is missing these discs on both sides. Appear to be black coated alu (?)
Any info appreciated.

Cheers!

Re:

I don't think they were available separately but did come with the rare as hell tune up kits. They are just a circular sliver of metal with a black coating, but you could just use some firm tape cut to shape. Some of the carbon fibre frame protection would look nice.

Thanks. I was hoping there was a Shimano spare number and that maybe Shimano had a whole barrel full of spares in the back of the shop. Otherwise yes, there's people selling vinyl dot stickers on fleabay in the correct diameter. A few stacked for rigidity would do the trick.

I'd be interested to see how you get on with the work around

Reviving this question, anyone got any leads on replacements?

I've used Matt Black Aluminium Foil Tape and it's very close. The stuff I've got is for theatrical lighting stuff but lots of choice available. Cut with a wad punch or scalpel/scissors.

I have used cap head screw covers on Allen bolts in the past to keep crap and water out of them.
A tiny bit of mastic or even hot glue and they are secure


What about plastic screw caps you get on flat pack furniture, they come in various sizes and colours and can also be painted.

I have a box of odd xtr brakes. May have some of these discs attached. Also have 3 nos tune up kits which have these included.

Wouldn`t it be possible to turn a punch tool, buy some self adhesive foil and cut a few ?
