WTB: XTR BR-M900 cantilever springs and plastic spring covers
Somehow an eBay purchase of XTR BR-M900 cantilever brake set has gotten separated from these critical springs and spring covers. They are unusable as they are. Does anyone know of where to buy the exact Shimano XTR replacement small parts or perhaps you could point me to a compatible substitute? I appreciate any help.

oh @masi61 that is gonna be one tall order. No XTR springs I can see on eboy.but maybe these will work ?

I searched the Shimano site for the parts list for the XTR 900 brakes and you'll have to search for a cross reference, I'd be williing to bet that the springs interchange with a Deore XT part.
or buy another set from a bike recycler / chop shop.

Found that diagram in another thread. I see they were also looking for pieces.

I ended up checking the other used M900 cantilever caliper and it has the springs and the plastic covers. So really I am only short of one set of springs and covers for just one caliper.

Thank you. I love exploded diagrams like that. I just wish that there were some vintage parts houses where you could still order those small parts. Maybe Euro Asia imports would have them. My LBS mechanic used to be order certain NOS Shimano parts through them. I thought I heard that Euro Asia might have gone out of business, does anyone know?
