I just had this pull through the brake lever housing on my 70s Raleigh. I'd like to buy a new one but no idea what it's called or how to find it. I see the same bushing between the cable and the brake lever on several vintage road bikes. So it must be fairly common if not universal in that era.

This Peugot also has the bushing I speak of between the brake lever housing and the cable. It's white in this picture.

Go for a metal one; it’ll last forever.

Stop reading my posts!
I might have a spare (maybe a pair but won't make any promises).
PM me if you want and I'll look, if I find it/them you can have for the cost of postage.
ALSO: don't think there's any difference between the DC and Weinmann for this piece but just in case if you can measure the diameter(s) with a caliper of one you have that might prevent a mis-match.
