Lock nut pivot for Shimano Tiagra front brake
Hi, I replace my Brakes for Tiagra but the screw which attached to the fork is to small for my for model. Does anyone know how to get a longer screw for this model. The currently screw is 70mm I would need something about 100mm. Thank, this is a picture of the currently screw.

Since the bolt is a special one of fixed length you will need a longer nut. The recessed nut which threads onto your mounting bolt can be had in numerous lengths; you should be able to find a longer one which will reach between the bolt and the rear of the fork. A local shop should be able to provide them or they are available online. Follow this link for a photo of some available nuts: Aluminum Recessed Brake Nut 35mm | eBay

I'm not exactly sure what you did but if I interpret this correctly you drilled the rear hole oversize so the short recessed nut goes all the way through it. Is that correct? If so you have a very dangerous situation as the brake is not held in place properly.
