Rear brake caliper bolt identification (Templar X)
My rear brake caliper has one bolt that is way too tight from factory, and it's now stripped. The head of it is a 4mm set screw and only that portion is threaded. What do you call this style of bolt? A ton of bonus points if you know where to get one, but I'd settle for knowing what to look for.
A replacement caliper may be easier than extraction and would be my fallback plan. I see the entire rear caliper on Zuumav's parts diagram under Handlebar Assembly, but I cannot find anything matching their part number for it: 06.08.0580 Their AliExpress store doesn't even show results if you search for the word "caliper."

It seems Harley Davidson Sportster models use the same design. I assume this would be far larger than what I need: https://a.co/d/ghInHnI ("Harddrive Caliper Pad Pins - Rear")
Found a couple options for Can-Am Mavericks or Commanders, which I'm sure are also too big. I will try to get in touch with Zuumav and see if they'll sell the slide pins or a caliper. Good time to ask about a rear brake pedal, too, since that's another thing I haven't found a replacement for. China bikes are definitely inconvenient sometimes, but it beats not riding at all, or going into debt to do so.

The Templar X brake calipers are a clone of the 1985-1987 Honda CMX250C Rebel front brake caliper. Might be worth taking a chance to see if OEM Honda parts fit..
Here's a link to a parts breakdown on Partszilla.. https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/ho...s9-BDTx2MqMa8B The EBC FA-86 brake pads that fit these bikes also fit a few Kymco models.. Might be worth looking for caliper parts for these. Active SR 50 • 2008 Nexxon 125 E3 2008 Nexxon 50 2008 Hope this helps..

Is it in these diagrams? Kind of small and hard to see. https://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=34693

That's the diagram I referenced at the end of my post, and it does have the alleged part number for the rear caliper, but even that number seems entirely useless.
It might! I emailed Zuumav on Sunday night (info at zuumavmoto dotcom) but no reply yet, not even an auto-response. Not too hopeful on that. There's a bright side, which is that my rear brake pads have plenty of life left, so in the meantime it's ride-able. Which is great, because with the weather finally cooling down to less than 100 degrees, and a very fresh separation from my partner, I may be wanting to ride often.
