Need spare end barrel for Frogglegs cantilevers

I've managed to shear the screw head off the end barrel of my front Planet-X Frogs Bollox cantilever brakes. I've tried drilling the thread out and hammering a small screwdriver tip in to unscrew the remaining thread but no luck. Planet-X don't have any spares. The proper Frogglegs brakes look as though they have compatible end barrels. Does anyone know where I can get a spare one?

    On a side note, I'd be interested to find out how you get on with the PX Frogglegs - had real issues with mine!

    i did the exact same thing, fixed it by bending a spoke round instead of a straddle cable. worked perfectly.

    failing that i have recently replaced the brakes with avid, so i have spares.

    edit bit: or not, someone at work threw out the boxes of stuff. nobs.
