Has anyone got a lever for Shimano XT rear brake (left)

[steve_sordy]

I broke the lever on my Shimano XT brake lever assembly. It's the one on the left side of the bars (does the rear brake in the UK).
The Shimano code is BR M8100 L

All I need is the lever but it's been on order with Shimano via the LBS for almost two years now. I'd need the hinge pin that goes with it as well.

Even if your lever assembly is knackered, it's likely that the lever itself will be OK.

Yep, thanks for that @Tooks and @Darren66
I have no desire to appear ungrateful, but for £22.49 vs a brand new lever assembly at £36.02, I'll leave it thanks.

I was hoping that someone out there might have a trashed lever assembly that might have an intact lever that they could send me for postage costs (and my gratitude! ).

When I ordered a replacement lever at the LBS, he told me it'd be a few pounds. It would appear that prices have gone up since; maybe there's a shortage? I will check the price with the LBS and will cancel the order if he confirms the price has gone up.

I got tired of bending and breaking lever blades on my 8100 series brakes, so I ordered these lever blades from Flo Motorsports a few years ago. They aren't cheap, but they aren't as fragile as the stock lever blades.
