Replacement bolt for seatpost upper assembly

[DR ◣◢]

Idiot over here messed up and now it seems like these guys are close to impossible to find... Managed to slip the hex wrench and stripped out a portion of the bolt when I adjusted the saddle. 

 

So far no luck finding anything at nut and bold places for two reasons:

   1: The ones they carry will rust and
   2: The bolt has this rounded section on the underside of the cap that allows the bolt to swivel. 

 

I would just replace the seatpost if it wasn't an Xfusion dropper post...

 

Any suggestions who to contact?

Similar to this but with a flat top and rounded bottom.

Would the bolt from a stem cap work? i have a few laying around

I have an old FSA post the bolts might work for you M5 thread

You might be able to take the socket section of a rim brake pad holder or dics brake caliper mounting bolt kit to make a normal  socket head machine screw work. M5 or M4 bolts?

Thanks

 

These are M4. A disc caliper bolt is just too short unfortunately. 

 

The search continues.

I did not think about that. It will work actually. 

I should have some somewhere.

not the bolt just the ball and socket washers.

brake pad carriers for rim brakes use similar but smaller ball and socket washers

That will work I think. 

 

Please PM me with a price if you're keen on selling the post?
