Record Skeleton Brake Part

[CaptStash]

I need to source a lock nut for a Campy Record Skeleton Brake (front brake). What I am calling a lock nut, is the nut with two flats, and a set screw, that holds the whole ball of wax together, and threads on to the central pivot. It's part of P/N BR-RE404, but I haven't had any luck finding it anywhere. Any thoughts?

I'd wait for Old P-toe to check in but I had to source one of these for a set of 10sp Records and finally had to kludge one. No. Source. Anywhere.
You may have to salvage one, so check if it has the same part number or dimensions with older/lower range Campys.

Question: did it break at the set screw?

Oddly enough it didn't break at the set screw. Branford seems to have one for a pre-skeleton era brake which I hope will fit. They are investigating and will call me back. I suspect I could use a metric nut and just go with that and washers. Should work fine, but the brakes need to be sold, so that would sort of suck.

I think I found a metric threaded shaft collar with a set screw.
