Help! T-Nut needed for Modolo brakes on old Bianchi Quattro
Greetings. I was wondering if somebody out there could help out by
selling me a T-nut that I need to restore a Bianchi Quattro. The T-nut is from the front brakes (which are Modolo Quattro's). The T-nut is a shaft with threads on the inside and has a cap on the end with a hex cut in it for torquing. I believe these were standard on Italian bikes and maybe others from this era (late 80's, early 90's) and are also found on Fiori's that I know of. The nut fits into the front forks to hold the brakes in place. The bolt from the brakes only goes half-way through the forks and is held in place by the T-nut from the other side. I've searched all the local bike shops, e-bay, and hardware and fastener suppliers without any luck. Has anybody out there got an old set of these brakes or similar sitting around and be willing to sell me the T-nut??? Anybody have a source for such a part?? Any help greatly appreciated. Response via email appreciated. Thanks Cheers, Marc |

Peter Chisholm It sounds as if you have a rear brake on the front. As Peter says just get a longer nut from your LBS. Or, you can thread the nut you have up in the steerer and use the rear hole as access for the Allen wrench. This works fine. Phil Brown |
