DR ◣◢ Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 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?
DR ◣◢ Posted July 28, 2020 Author Posted July 28, 2020 Similar to this but with a flat top and rounded bottom.
Barry Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Would the bolt from a stem cap work? i have a few laying around
Barry Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 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?
DR ◣◢ Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks These are M4. A disc caliper bolt is just too short unfortunately. The search continues.
DR ◣◢ Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 Would the bolt from a stem cap work? i have a few laying around I did not think about that. It will work actually. I should have some somewhere.
DieselnDust Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks These are M4. A disc caliper bolt is just too short unfortunately. The search continues. not the bolt just the ball and socket washers.brake pad carriers for rim brakes use similar but smaller ball and socket washers
