You know that bolt with the hole through it that fastens the brake cable to the once-ubiquitous Weinmann/Dia-Compe brakes? I over-torqued the nut and the bolt snapped. Or maybe I didn't over-torque it because it wasn't gripping the cable adequately. Either way, it's broken.

I'm sure people must have these sitting around in a pull-off box, can anyone sell me one?

It was a side-pull if that matters.

(Sorry if there's any breach of protocol by posting a "wanted" here but this really seems the right forum for this particular request.)

Like these?

EDIT: aebike.com has them as well... They appear to be a QBP part, so your LBS may carry them, wlthough they seem to be pretty pricey on aebike...
