Skip,
The Superbe are Campy clones and take the same hoods. I have a supplier for the hoods and have some in stock here, but they are not Campy hoods (aftermarket).Smiles, MH

I don't recall ever being completely devoid of Campy levers. I guess there's a first time for everything.

I bet something else (maybe a common CP brake part) might fit but I have no Huret FD to compare my spare hardware against.
If somebody else doesn't chime up then what I would need are the dimensions of that bolt, the more exact details the better.

Ok, completed some measurements and arrived at an estimate of bolt shaft length.
Flats of the bolt shaft is 5mm thick
Round of the bolt shaft is 6mm thick
Domed nut is 9mm long
see photo for next...
Cable hole is 2mm
Derailleur section the bolt must pass through is 6mm
So assuming the bolt shaft needs at least 4mm to catch in the nut, then
estimated bolt shaft length would be 12mm.
Sound about right?

Thanks for the offer VintageSteelEU. i may be able find something generic stateside. Also see my post re approximate bolt size.
You mean the thing below? I'd need to clean it a bit (sorry, it came off a FD I got for parts and in a sorry state, so didn't bother making it presentable yet, hence a bit of caked mud on it), but if you're willing to wait for a delivery from the UK, happy to clean it up and send over. It's steel. I might even have some domed nuts the right size if that was your preferrence.
Alternatively, brake cable fixing bolt for generic single pivot side pulls looks basically the same and has the right length. I got some new (don't remember who makes them at the moment) and they even have domed nut. Though the ones I have diameter 0.2mm smaller (5.6) than the Huret bolt I have (5.8), but they are probably made in several sizes.

The bolt I have has the total length of 13.8mm, threaded part 6mm. Flat to flat part is 4.9mm, round to round is 5.8mm. Cable hole is between 1.5 and 2mm.

I have some Simplex mountain bike thumb shifters if anyone wants to swap for something. I haven't sent anything Stateside for years and I think since Canada Customs has increased the PITA factor wanting you to fill out their forms "online" beforehand.
Could use a 9mm Ritchey "Skraxle" for a front wheel. The wheel is useless without it.

Simplex thumbies are very cool little items. You are correct that there is definitely more effort needed to ship from here to you, but it is really the surprising cost.

Update - I knew what I had was French but was wrong on the Simplex branding. These are SACHS-Huret.

Lock that stores inside handlebar?
I once had a lock that stored inside the handlebar, it was a plastic-sheathed cable that slipped inside the handlebar, doubled, terminating in the lock-and-bar-plug arrangement. When stored all you saw was the rubber plug.
I was unable to find a picture on the net, but found this instead; more or less the same idea but keyed (=better, the one I had was a combination):

I know neither of these would be much problem for anyone with determination, but to prevent an opportunistic walkaway they'll do; the real plus is nothing need to be attached to the bike, or even seen to be attached.
So I'd like either version...
EDIT - found a (bad) pic of the one I had:

Decent 25.4 or 25.6 seat post. Something like an Sakae or SR.
need it for my market bike. I think I have one in my stash in the States but no one to look.
