I've lost a washer off my brake system. It is used to clamp my main brake cable at the yoke on my cantilevers, so I prob can't do without it.
Unfortunately, this is a US designed bike and so uses a washer that I have worked out is a US size, it's 1/4" washer of the SAE standard.
I'm finding it really difficult to track down a washer in this size in the UK.
It's internal diameter is 7.14mm. The commonly available UK sizes are M6 which is around 6mm internal and M8 which is around 8mm internal.
Does anyone know where I can track one of these down? Perhaps I could get away with drilling, say, an M6 to a slightly larger size?
Alternatively, how hard would it be to track down a new cantilever yoke assembly?
Cheers
Anton
