Vintage (70s) road bike. Plastic bushing between brake cable / brake lever. Name?
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.

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

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.
