huret gear cable and concave brake washers

[tehtehteh]

I need the washers from this post:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=352033&start=10#p2626576

can't for the life of me find these anywhere, maybe I don't know what to call them, can someone help me out?

also need a new cable for a 1960s huret down tube shifter, it has a funny end and I can't find it

about 5mm diameter and 3mm wide, almost looks like a little disc

help please!

thanks

Hi,

For the rear washers I bought one of these:

Didn't find a corresponding front bolt so bought the washer individually from ebay.

Re:

Isn't that a standard 'Mountain bike' cable end? Cables are available at any bike shop/site with the barrel on one end (like yours) and the pear shape (road bike) on the other, cut off the one you don't need.

it's very different from a mountain bike cable

don't suppose you have a link for that front washer you bought also? I still can't find the thing!

Not after you've finished filing it!

the cable is bigger, the mountain bike end I could file is on a brake cable, the gear cable I'm replacing is narrower

Hi Mate,

That front washer was just a second-hand one off - don't see anymore listed. It was listed as 'concave front brake washer spacer' or something like that.

Regards, Dave.

I did eventually find some NOS weinmann ones on ebay, in a full bolt set like you mentioned, so should be good thanks

you'd think these things would be easier to find!
