Need a cable adjuster for rear caliper on my vintage campagnolo super record brake set. Are fittings standard that there are modern ones that will fit? Seems to be a common missing part on calipers sets

If you look at the top of the caliper arm where the adjuster goes it is a D shape with no thread? Modern fittings are far as I am aware do not fit these brakes .. you could try http://www.campyoldy.co.uk/ as he used to stock a lot of old spares. Also have a look at this page 38 which shows spare parts numbers http://www.campyonly.com/history/catalogs/catalog_17a.pdf

If it's just a threaded adjuster with a nut, I have one for you: not Campag, but it is "karma".

if it is D shaped then modern identical ones can easily be modified by filing flat on one side

It is d shaped so I'll try source a modern one. Still hard to get though!
Scilly - will your do the job?

Sorry, no: it's an old round one; if you tried to file it flat, you'd go through the barrel.

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:

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
