Cantilever bolts …did I miss the memo?

[Antstark]

Have I missed all the threads which told me where I can get exact copies of Shimano cantilever bolts …the ones that bolt the brakes to the frame. MT62/M650/M730 etc

Anyone got any recommendations ?

Just sourced four yesterday. Unfortunately only one straddle.

I was thinking more of where can i get brand new ones which look exactly the same as the original Shimano ones. I have a load of mint canti sets all with crappy condition bolts

I bought a pack of M6x16mm button-head bolts from Screwfix. Just under four quid for 50.

You guys use bolts? Nothing that can't be sorted with a wooden dowel

Another one of those age old biking questions - why didn’t they stay with the cantis?
It’s as if every time someone has taken a set of cantis or V’s off a bike, they’ve looked at the freshly removed bolts in their hand and said to themselves “I can see no reason why these would ever be needed again, in the bin they go.”
