Hello guys, I have a surly long haul trucker and the break looks like to be DIA COMP model DC980 (it is very similar)
One of the bolts that holds the cable for front break is damaged (the picture does not help too much but the bolt cannot be turned very tight because it loses its grip in the internal walls that hold the tool to turn it) . Now Im looking for ideas to replace this bolt since it looks like a very special bolt I never saw before.
If you guys know alternatives here I appreciate your help.
PS: Someone told me to buy the whole system new but I found this alternative very agressive with nature, since I just want a simple bolt and the other parts will not be used soon (my bike is new).
Thank you!

Try sjs cycles, they may be able to help. For example:. https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brakes/dia- ... unit-each/
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Ha ha! Yeah, but have you seen the quality of the bag Got to admit, I didn't look at the price; it's not the right bolt but there's a good chance sjs will have the right one.We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost.
