Cable stop on rear stay

bice

I am doing up an old stew frame for a friend which I have had resprayed. She now wants to have modern gears (a triple) which mean cable stops on the frame.

(I want to avoid welding on cable stops and respraying again, if possible.)

I know I can get bolt-on cable stops on the down tube for the gear cables, but what about the rear stay before the bare inner cable goes into the 8 ins of outer and joins the derallier?

Any ideas of fixing one up somehow? I am think of fixing up a DIY version with a Dia Compe cable guide like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390695695590?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649, but it might be too wide for the stay. Or maybe even a jubilee clip, which would not look great.

Any ideas? or does it have to be a weld?

The cable stop needs to be fixed well, otherwise the gears won't index. You might be able to adapt one of these, particularly if you can hold it in place with epoxy:

You could consider this:-

disadvantage is that the supplier is US based.

However SJS Cycles offer this as an option:-

I'd give them a call to check if they'd fit you bike OK

You can use a Sturmey archer fulcrum clip, but the opposite way around like these:

or if the stay has a circumference of 15.9mm or 5/8 they do these one which is universal fitting, the outer cable can fit from the left or right
