I recently snapped my remote seatpost cable in a crash. To repair this I need a wee barrel type bolt to slide over the end of the new cable which I can then adjust via small grub screw to the correct length to actuate the post. Does anyone know what I mean? Or can anyone suggest something else to fit on the new cable to get it working again?

Yes, I know what you mean (I've got a KS950i). Dunno if you can still get 'em, but I'm sure very similar things used be in Meccano sets (giving away my age!). If not, you could try and find a local model shop, because they might have some RC car/boat/plane parts that might do the job - think I've also seen similar sized brass collars/bushes with side grub screws used on model railway loco axles.
HTH.

Costs 67p though ! maybe out of your price range

Thanks fivespot not exactly what I was looking for(the barrel slides onto the cable lengthways and a 1.5mm grub screw tightens onto the cable) but at that price I'll give it a go...
