It is the little round part with the hole in it that you put the brake cable though. it has 2 plastic bushings and 2 metal washers as well.
I am missing 3 of them and wonder where I can them?
They appear to be the same in 7-8-9 speed brifters.

I would check your LBS maybe they have some broken ones you can harvest the parts from. Also put post in the C&V ISO thread but include the specific model you need the parts for.

Shimano themselves is currently out of those, and expects more in October. If you can't find them anywhere, I could have some ordered in, they're $5 each. You're looking for a "cable hook unit," Shimano part number Y6BD98110.

I've gotten them at the LBS myself. They had a box of dead STI (Shimano, are you listening???) and they were more than happy to find me a couple. Note, if your shop helps, be sure to reward them with a purchase or two!
