My buddy has a newer Raleigh with an eccentric BB. The bike has not lived a nice life and has all kinds of little issues. While trying to make some other repairs, one of the bolts froze and broke in the eccentric BB. Fortunately I was able to extract the broken portion. A new eccentric BB was $60 and it was difficult to source a replacement bolt. So I found another m4 bolt, found some little nuts that I filed down to fit inside the shell, and plan to red loc-tite the little assembly together when it's together.
