New nuts for KoolStop

[PaulF]

I've managed to 'round' the Allen headed nut for my new KoolStops

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?  Spa Cycles where I bought the pads say that they're not available as spares

[Mrs Pingu]

Someone round here is bound to have some spares in their shed.
I'm not in the shed now, otherwise I'd look for you!

I fitted some yesterday and was in danger of doing this myself. Clearly designed for thicker calipers than mine, as the nut is tightened the bolt reaches the allen key and pushes it out. I had to add an extra washer to prevent this.

[Mrs Pingu]

I rummaged in the shed this morning and found some (I think). I'll take a pic this evening and if any good you can have.....

[PaulF]

That would be great thanks

Unfortunately mine are a different type.

Thanks anyway

Unfortunately mine are a different type.

BOUNCE

Anyone have a spare? Drawn a blank with my local supplies and Koolstop haven't got back to me. Mine looks like an allen headed bolt that goes through the caliper and onto the bolt that comes out of the brake pad if that make sense?

Dunno if this helps, Paul, but there are two allen bolts on my brakes:



The larger one in the middle is easy to replace, pretty much a standard thread.  This holds the whole arrangement onto the brake caliper.

The smaller one on the right prevents the brake pad from sliding off the holder.  I always round this one - and I don't know how you get replacements.

If in doubt, try your LBS - they should have drawers full of spare bolts & bits.
