Replacing DC MX quick-release mechanisms & hardware

(1/2) > >>

monkian:
Any tips or links to other threads on how to replace these? Also anyone know where can I get them from :-\
I've just got some MX900's the caliper arms are in great shape but some of the hardware needs replacing (the longer spindle).
The Weinmann adjusters are OK except the threaded cable sleeves so I could do with a pair of them as well.
The biggest problem with them is the quick release mechanisms as they're peeling, rusting and one is bent :-\

I also got some Tech III's that need new screws and springs.

Any help much appreciated :daumenhoch:

PS: Some centering devices would be cool as well 8)

Talking to fishface it seems that the rivet head has to be filed off to remove the QR system.
Then a bit of custom work on a suitable bolt is required to re-fit it :shocked:  :D

Thanks for your help fishface also thanks to Daz for the (front) spindle :daumenhoch:
I gunna check out the local nut & bolt shop for the other hardware but I did find this guy on US ebay selling bits for around a fiver.
