Bent Campy Derailluer

Hello all: I have a bent mounting bolt on a 8-speed Campy Veloce rear derailleur. Everything else
in this unit is fine. The bolt rotates freely in the upper pivot, so the bend must be close to
the threads.

I have several spare Shimano derailleur pivot bolts, and a new Mavic. What's the chance that these
can be used as a replacement for the Campagnolo bolt?

Small..visit a local bike shop and dig thru the box of toasted stuff any good one will have 'in the
back' and harvest a bolt from a rear der....

Most likely they will not work. Even if it looks close, you'll probably end up doing more hurt than
good. You can order the correct replacement bolt, or possibly find a scrap der. of the same model to
harvest a bolt from.
