Yep, EYEtalian old stuff, I went to ACE, Lowes and HD, and none fit right, granted didn't try other on-line places but since the old one were gone, hard to measure and specify size, this was a bike place and said they were genuine (doubt it) fit Campy brakes.
I've sourced out a few metric nuts and bolts at ACE for nickels and dimes, this one eluded me. Its a Raleigh Pro from the early 1970's and some idiots on e-bay are asking $1,200-$1,500 for these things, which I thought was nutz, until I went into a local bike store to get a couple of 1"x27 tires and saw they were selling new street bikes for up to $30,000.
I think I bought it new in 1974 for about $400, I don't remember, but that was when a cheap Raleigh 10 speed was going for $99.
