Sorted U brake, (or just the dust covers for Shimano Deore/XT)

[Theeb]

Probably a Shimano Deore or XT, but others considered. Good mechanical condition pls.
I do have a Deore version but its lacking the dust covers, so if anyone has those, or an incomplete one....
Thanks

Thanks, but sorted now.

how did you get it sorted? I'm looking for a dust cover for BR-M731.

I bought a new brake from someone here

Aha! Nice! As I'm building a bike to give to a friend for free I'm trying to keep the cost down.

At the moment my options are putting in a metal washer with decent grease, trying to buy a rubber or plastic seal to fit, or asking a friend to 3D print something.

Or buying a XLC U-brake for very little, though I'd rather "save" the part!

Thanks for your answer.

No probs. Yeah my normal inclination would have been to (try to!) make something but this was for a bike off on a 12-18month trip so figured it was worth making it as maintenance free as possible. Good luck!
