Has anyone used the I-spec B mount for the Tech 3 levers? I've got some new brakes on the way and want to use my I-spec B shifter. I've sourced the nut from Merlin but can't get a bolt. I understand it is an M5x16 according to the Hope website but is the bolt head a weird shape to fit the lever body? Anything else on a bike use M5x16 and would fit by any chance?

I have emailed Hope with a pleading email but no reply as yet.

I got some Tech 3 E4s earlier this year, they came complete with the I-Spec nuts and bolts.
Before they arrived, I was wondering the same.

Ah, interesting, thanks. I'll ask the guy sourcing the frame and brakes to check the box.

Never got any iSpec bolts when I've bought E4 brakes. Nothing weird about the bolt head, I just got the nut and bolt from a local shop for 50p. The bolt was M18 as opposed to M16 so needed a washer.

Thanks Antares. Will pop down the local hardware store today and see if I can get the bolt.
