Converting downtube shifter mounting points to cable stops
Hi, upgrading an old frame and want to convert the downtube shifter mounting points to cable stops. I was hoping that I could get some braze on ones and swap them straight over - however closer inspection today revealed that the two mounting points are connected, joining within the frame, and the two holes on each side of the frame are too large to take standard bolts and are not threaded.
Any simple solutions I could try - this must have been quite a common issue when people were first upgrading from downtube shifters to integratred brake and gear levers.
Kind regards

I can't picture the bike from your description: will these not work? They are the standard solution for traditional downtube shifter bosses.
If not, then I'm afraid you have some system I've never seen. However, I thjink I've seen band on versions of the above, which could be mounted ahead of the existing lever bosses, whatever they are.0 -
Thanks, they look like they may well work indeed, if the domed part slides over the gear lever bosses - where do get them from?0
