Pinch bolts

Replacing the cable on my rear derailler (old Shimano - at work & can't
remember the exact #) and misplaced the "derailler pinch bolt & washer" that
holds the cable in. (This is what Park Tool calls them anyway.) I tried a
regular old nut & washer but the cable slips out of the washer when
tightened. From another bike I have it looks as if there is a ridge on the
washer that guides the cable and prevents it from slipping.

I can't find anything of the sort on sites like Supergo, Nashbar, etc.
Where can one purchase these at or is there a substitution I can make? My
LBS was no help except to offer selling me a new derailler.

Cheers!

shimano developed elegant methods for holding the wires in place!
a USS flat washer, triangular file, and vise griops to hold washer will
produce a washer.
the complete rig may be found at the flea market.
cleaning and coating the wire with red locktite helps-binding wire to
screw and washer?
let setup

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Any LBS that's been in business for more than a few weeks will have boxes of
loose parts like this. Trying to use this as an opportunity to sell a new
derailer is shameful. I would buy from them again only in a real emergency,
and treat everything they say with a grain of salt.

What am I looking for on this page?

I'd call loosescrews.com.

If you take a look at that, and the next page (items 11-19), you'll
see that they have a pretty good selection of small RD parts,
including 'cable fixing bolt units--' presumably what you need.

Call 'em up. Tell 'em, specifically, whatchoogot, and see if they
can't hook you up.

Good luck.

Can't you just hacksaw a groove in a plain washer?

They are quite similar among Shimano changers and easy to
find on discarded units. That part seldom fails. A competent
LBS which commonly services bicycles will have a new one -
all models are very available and cheap.

Not that thin, but I do have two hacksaws.
