Shimano PD A530 Lock Bolt




As in the title, I need one, or preferably two ( a Left and Right).
It's a plastic sleeve with a screw thread that screws into the body of the pedal and holds the axle. A replacement part plus the axle is around £20 ($40 USD!!!!!!) The part that I need is about £2 ($5 USD)...but I can't find any anywhere.
I was thinking of trying a different model number spare, but I don't know if the size is any different or if all these Shimano SPD pedals have the same interior geometry and size. They look like they do, but.......?
The part in question is (from Shimano tech docs)

Y43Z13100
Lock Bolt (Right)
Y43Z14100
Lock Bolt (Left)

It seems silly to buy new pedals for £30+ as there is nothing wrong with them except this one part that needs replacing.


**UPDATE* Managed to get replacements online, but now the old plastic lock bolt has sheared off in the aluminium pedal body and I'm ****ed if I can get it out. Why don't they just make them out of metal?
Any suggestions at all? Seems a shame to throw away an otherwise great set of pedals.
