RC35 knowledge needed

[ALEXDWEST]

i recently bought a lovely set of RC35s from a member and there is a part missing which i don't know the name of. I've spoken to Pace but they've sent me the wrong bits and my local bike shop haven't been particularly helpful. So - apparently it is a tear-drop shaped slice of Aluminium that sits on the bit where you attach the brake and into which you position the brake 'pin'. Can anyone tell me what it's called? My retrobuild has ground to a halt and this is the last bit i need... Many thanks

Sounds like a canti rocker to me? Does it bolt into the brace/arch?

nope its for the spring on canti's to be honest I am not sure what you would call them. flat piece of metal 2 holes in, one of which the canti stud passes through and screws into place, locking this part in position, the second hole is smaller and the end of the spring from the canti locates into it.

If it is these, I have a pair somewhere. Although I think they are from part the stage 2 titanium upgrade kit pace used to offer. (so not the standard ones...fancy pants lightweight titanium one)

You could try Tim (justbackdated) on here.
He seems to carry some spares and explained something that was baffling me in layman's terms that even I could understand!

Looking at the 1993 owners manual, its called the spring washer part no RC-070

From the descriptions it sounds like the Cantilever Spring Plate and is item number 25 on the Pace exploded diagram.

If that's the item, then it is round and on all my RC35's it is made of steel.
