Does Anyone have any Contacts at Madison/Shimano - Identify Part

timmyotool

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me identify/possibly source a replacement part for my RS685 hydraulic shifters.

It's the triangular mineral oil cover, being the moron that I am I overtightened it and it has split the metal around the screw and I can't get the seal I need to hold the pressure.

I've check the exploded view in the shimano docs but it's not listed as a part! And I've tried to email Madison with no luck, Shimano EU seems impossible to get hold of.

Below is a link to a picture of the shifter:

Could always take it into your local bike shop

Sounds like Shiamno don't do spares for shifter internals;

Might be worth contacting those guys to see if they have the part, or trawl eBay for a suitable donor shifter...

Alternatively your best bet may be;
