Downtube STI cable stop bosses. Belt sander drill to fab the bits. Experiment.
At first I was going to braze on downtube shifter bosses, then I thought well it’s a 35mm downtube so I will have to modify all the mounting hardware before I braze them on to make sure it will actually work(don’t see why it cant be done), so I changed my mind to brazing on some Llewelyn STI stops, but I wanted to seriously reshape them, but I look and they are hollow (nice) and well, here we are.
All the bits you see except for the cable Adjuster screws, are made from scrap stainless, with a drill and a belt sander. It totally bugs me that I can’t make the barrel adjusters, but I’ll look around on line to see what’s out there.
Additionally, and unfortunately, looks like I might run into a problem with the height of the adjuster above the downtube, the threaded bit needs to be sunk into the base and the base needs to be mitered, it’s gonna lose some height and it’s going to be close. Probably screw them up in some other fashion so...not to worried.
