WTB: Small Parts
EDIT/UPDATE: Adding and subtracting from list. Looking for a bunch of small stuff to finish a project, hopefully someone has a big stash of stuff and has it all, avoiding a bunch of purchases where I am asking members to ship tiny amounts. Regardless, I could use:
(A) A set of top tube cable clamps w/screws. Bike is a mix of Campy and Other, can be flexible on brand. LOCATED
(B) A pair of tensioning springs for the QR skewers for Campy hubs (uh, I don’t know if it matters what brand of springs!) LOCATED
(C) ONE Campy Record crank dust cap. LOCATED
(D) One or more of the nice bolts with 8mm head and a shoulder behind the head used on Campagnolo downtube mounts, like DT shifters, DT cable guides, DT stops.
(E) One of those nice, sturdily-built, rear brake center pull housing stops that hangs off the seat post bolt (Die-compe? Other?) LOCATED
(F) Two Weinmann (Is Die-Compe the same?) Ny-Lock center mounting bolts for the brakes for attaching to frame. I have a pair here but the LyLock part is about worn out.

I’ve got most of what you’re looking for. A couple choices on the rear cable hanger, as shown.

Springs are available in bags of a dozen for very little money on the auction site.
For the brake housing clamps there are some made in stainless, unfortunately I think by a large asian concern but as your machine is already a mésalliance it can be justified as function over form.

Somewhere I have a mandrel for winding them, it was made & used several decades ago and the "somewhere" is likely very deep in a bin somewhere.....

The hanger you would prefer is used often with center pull brakes which do not have a release on the lever or the calipers.

Updated, got some of what I need, plus I added an item in post #1, so still looking for:
(D) One or more of the nice bolts with 8mm head and a shoulder behind the head used on Campagnolo downtube mounts, like DT shifters, DT cable guides, DT stops.
(F) Two Weinmann (Is Die-Compe the same?) Ny-Lock center mounting bolts for the brakes for attaching to frame. I have a pair here but the LyLock part is about worn out.

Just to be clear, my earlier post was tongue-in-cheek. I did not mean to imply you should make any extra effort to obtain the proper OEM springs for your hubs. I was curious about (volute) skewer springs when I started the linked thread, but I also recognize there's practically no functional difference. I have noticed some slight differences between these springs (mainly thickness, color), and have had some skinny ones get mangled or stuck between the skewer and axle hole. There may be some curmudgeonly judge at some concourse somewhere in the world who might notice, but I don't obsess about it and confess I have robbed volute springs from other wheels wheels needed.

Thanks, and that sent me back to measuring. Turns out I do have a metric thread pitch gauge, not sure I have ever used it. On the Weinmann, neither 0.6mm pitch nor 0.8mm work... but 1.0mm does. Then I took a micrometer to bolt outdiamter: 5.8mm. Does this sound like a M6 x 1.0mm bolt? If so, a pack of those in Nylock, from Amazon, is cheap. Otherwise, I might use the existing worn nuts and a drop of LocTite. EDIT/UPDATE: Spending time doing online searches, seeing a few mentions suggesting M6x1.0mm Including this description of the center bolt: "Size: M6x57.45mm; Thread Diameter (d): M6; Pitch (p): 1mm; Length: 57.45mm; Shoulder Diameter: 6.4mm; Shoulder Length: 7.4mm; Diameter: 5.95mm; Thread Length: 22.65mm; Head Diameter: 15.85mm; Head Height: 3.55mm; Drive Size (s): 14mm; Format: Modified Shoulder Bolt; Standard: Proprietory Weinmann Fastener". So, unless someone has Weinmann nuts just sitting around, I'll buy a pack of that size and hope for the best.
Still hoping for item "D" in post #1
