Brake cable clamp bolt size for Shimano BR-CT91?
Hello all,
I am trying to find the proper size for the brake cable clamp bolt for a Shimano BR-CT91 cantilever brake. Can anyone tell me what specific type of bolt and length I should get?

Thanks!

I think the washer is as important as the screw. If you have the washer, a metric allen cap screw can be bought at a good hardware store, probably 5 mm. If you don't have the washer, it may be better to get a new or intact set of calipers.

M6x1, 6mm diameter x 1 mm per thread. length about 10mm although with a washer or two longer can be "made" shorter. Andy
