I have an 87 Letour frame and one of the braze-ons for the rear brake cable is missing. My searching has turned up nothing. It doesn't have to be exact either...if something else is more suitable I'll just knock off these other 2


*edit* k I guess I can't post pics?

You copied the wrong link in Photobucket.

Hmmmm ok...weird

Order one of these (or something similar) and JB Weld it to the frame. I haven't done it myself, but Doohickie did it to an '87 Prelude that I now own and it seems to be doing fine.

Or take it to a frame builder and have them do it.

Or use a clamp-on guide.

Zip ties Or Tape, its for a continuous run cable housing, so has no effect on braking one way or the other .

That's perfect! Thanks!

I actually have some fairly exact matches, if that's important to you:

Do you have these still? I tried to PM you but I don't have enough posts

If you really are going to use JB weld, the ones with lots of base surface area would be stronger, like those posted by brockd15.

Wait... WAit ... WAIT.... Just do the old solder trick - You don't even have to use silver solder - Regular solder will also work - You can get a little butane torch - There are all kinds of people around who have the equipment to repair a copper pipe if you can't do it yourself... Man I wish I was close enough to do it for you... It really is that simple - Don't be afraid it will come out fine...

JB weld might not be the best choice. Poor shear force properties. Solder or just use cable ties.
