Campagnolo Record 9 speed shifters
On this bike, I have Campy Record 1997 shifters and they have worked well until recently. I just noticed that the small cylindrical button that allows you to open up the brakes to take the wheel off is missing!!!! I have no clue on where it went.
My questions are as follows and maybe you guys have an answer.
What are some of the sites that would have this part and/or would it be easier to just replace these shifters?
What models of Campy shifters 9 speed would work?
Thanks

it's missing from one side? I have a 1999 Mirage (9-speed era) brifter that I could send to you. Just the left one, though. But the button for the "quick release" action of the brake lever is the same on both sides.
You might also just remove the whole brake lever part (not the shifter mechanism part) and put that on your Record body, but obviously would be a huge drop in bling.

The button is the same on both levers, and has been the same for many years. You'll need to replace both the button and the split bushing clip that fits into the lever and keeps it in place.
You probably lost yours because over time the clip bushing cracks and falls off in 2 pieces. That allows the button to simply slide out the side.

FBinNY, do you know if the button is exactly the same on the Tektro levers? (whose design was largely copied from the Ergopower lever body shape)

No, I don't know the Tektro lever, but if the button, which is really a rod about 1" long with 2 notches in the middle has the same diameter, then the rest can probably be fudged to fit.

Their shape and quick-release design is copied from Campy 9-speed ergopower

The "button" on Tektro levers is 6 mm in diameter and 20 mm long. If that matches the Campy dimensions, it could be substituted or, a long, partially threaded M6 bolt could be cut down to give a 6 mm smooth rod as a substitute.

Don't forget that it needs to have two grooves, and you still need the spring clip. If you cannot find a decent replacement part, possibly a plain 6mm rod can be held in place with a piece of PVC tubing in the middle. It won't have the detents, but should work OK by friction alone.

The part you are missing is part number(s) EC-RE 045 and EC-RE 041. This part has been relatively unchanged for a number of years.
The tech manual diagram shows EC-RE 045 as the double notched button referred to in the responses above. EC-RE041 looks like a bushing the 045 slides into. What is not shown or referenced is the retaining clip mentioned in the responses above but that can probably be sorted out with a c-clip if needed.
Unfortunately this is not an easy part to find on the internet. Since this part has remained unchanged throughout the years and it was used on other ergo levers you may be able to salvage this part from an otherwise trashed ergo lever or brake lever in a LBS parts bin.
or
You can remove the one from your other lever and take it to a machine shop to have replicated.

Going to a machine shop is the most expensive way to replace this part. You could probably buy a used set of levers for less than the minimum charge at a machine shop. In any case, while the pin is easy enough to make, the clip isn't. However, as said earlier, a piece of PVC or rubber tubing would serve.

again, I have an old, broken Campy Mirage left-side Ergo lever, quick-release button intact. PM me if you want it.

Does he have to take the whole lever? Maybe you can just punch out the button and send him that and the clip.

The OP also might be able to find this in a junk bin at a LBS.

They come in silver or black.
I find it odd that my otherwise entirely black 9s Mirage levers have the silver ones...
