Raleigh rod brake draw bolt
 

I have a Raleigh DL 1 that I'm trying to get on the road. Only problem is I'm missing one very small part. Everything else is here but I can't find one Rod Brake Draw Bolt. This is the little bolt that connects 2 rods together on the brakes. The bike should have 3, I've only got 2 and without it, Ive got no back brakes. I would have posted in the Want to Buy forum but for some reason I couldn't. I found some place online that sells these but they're in England and don't answer their emails. My question is, does anyone have one of these laying around somewhere? If so, how much to throw it in an envelope and mail it to me. I can't ride till I find one of these because I can't stop the bike worth a damn.

Someone on here had one laying around so I'm all set now, Thanks again!

I might have one if it's the part I'm thinking of. Is it the bolt that connects the stirrup to the frame or some part of the linkage? Can you post a pic of the two you have? I'm out of town until Sunday, but PM me in the meantime so that I'll remember to look when I'm home.

I love this forum, Found one and should have it next week! Thanks again!

I need two. I bought a bike online and all the parts were there, but four bits were lost in shipping, including the draw bolts. Hopefully I will be as lucky with this forum as jakedaniel was!

Hi RS-

I think yellow jersey has them:
