Subject: [CR] Searching for: Universal 61 Lever plastic bearings


Hi all - I disassembled my Universal 61 brake levers to clean them up tonight - and realized that the plastic spacers/bearings are completely shot. Is there a way to replace these? or do I need to find a bronze bearing of some sort?

Maybe dril them out and replace with diacompe bearings? I'd rather just find a source for something close to original....

Any ideas?

Thanks,
