Where could I pick up this 105 rear brakes part ?

Serious Cat

On my 105 brakes the 5mm allen securing bolt that clamps the brake cable at the rear of the bike and stops it from slipping needs replaced, I cant find anywhere that keeps this part as a spare for 105, would anybody know where I could source such a part ?

Many thanks

According to shimano tech docs it is m6 x 8.5.

Any decent hardware shop should have a suitable bolt.

Petra cycles are usually pretty good for Shimano parts.

You can get bolts like these from a proper hardware shop like DJ Evans in Bury St Edmunds. Or call up and decent bike shop they will have something suitable. an M6x10 bolt can always be ground down a bit. An angle grinder will do it in seconds and clean up the threads job done.
