Yesterday at Glentress I lost the lever pivot pin from my brakes.
I put a bastardised repair in place:

but I need to try and get a replacement.
I tried the Hub and my LBS with no joy. Is there anywhere online I can order one. I've had a quick Google but the usual suspects don't seem to stock them.
Can anyone help please?

Cheers

Paul.

Looking at the manual the pin only comes as part of the "Brake Lever Kit" (Oro item no. FD40063-20), eg.:

This happened to me going down stairs lane in oxenhope (if you know the area) while on my HT. I pooped myself

I just nut and bolted it & seems fine now

I had a similar thing happen on my old Juicy 7 lever - I just got a bolt and a self-locking nut and bodged it that way. I never did get round to replacing the pivot pin...
