You might want try the Allen bolt trick but get one with the mushroom head. It will fit better in the nosepiece. I read somewhere of someone doing it. They used a mushroom head allen M8 bolt & tapped the original Brooks special nut to fit the new M8 bolt(8 mm diameter 1.25 mm pitch). They said with M8 size, there was enough meat to tap the nut. That way you can have the original nut which kind of supports itself inside the Tension Shackle.

You are persistent & patient. If you had to, you could have found even more adaptable hardware. All good looking. You took the time to see what was available, and think!

Thats great, i fixed mine today but i put the bolthead on ”the other side” of the metalthing in the front, so all the suddently i had alot of place in between, secured it with a bolt and the i used another bolt ”inside” to be able to ger the tension and stretch the leather out. And then i stuck another bolt under the saddle to make everything sit even better

From what I remember there is a locator on the end of the original bolt, it stopped the bolt from turning as you tighten the nut ,(yes the factory use a stretching ram ) you can get spare parts from Italy pretty cheaply but postage price is shocking .

The video gives several options. The one that worked best for my saddle was the 8mm hex head screw and a half nut. The screw diameter is metric equivalent of 5/16". The length will depend on your saddle. I estimate between 1-2". Extra length will not matter.

Looks like a threaded rivot might be the ticket.

I have been looking for a video explaining how to determine the proper tension for the Brooks saddle. Can you tell us Bob?

Good question. I am not aware if Brooks has published info on this. I think it is a matter of personal preference. I have 2 Brooks saddles (the old one is 35 years old). I have them set with different tension.

it is ridiculous, that such an expensive product cannot be repaired in a normal way by yourself. i used mine for 4 years (10.000 km )and the screw brooks (! :-)) .I will NEVER buy a product from this company. And I am not willing to send to repair to england.
