Shimano brake cable "hook" unit ??

I have a set of integrated brake/shift levers that I'd like to use, but the previous owner has lost the parts that hold the brake cable ends into the lever. I think it may be called a hook unit (SJS website) but am not sure. To explain, they are a small cylinder of metal with a nylon bush at each end and a hole through where the cable end pulls.

Can anyone please confirm the name of these little beasties and maybe where I can get them easily & cheaply.

Many thanks for any info,
Gren

It's actually in the lever system and the end of the inner cable goes through and it and the cable end pulls it.

Here is a link to what I've found, but I don't know if this is the correct name for the item.

Then I want to find them at the best price.

Thanks, Gren

I very much doubt you'll find them cheaper, if you do the difference will be negligible...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
