Converting I-Spec B to bar mount?

Anybody know of a way to do this?
Got the new 11 speed XT drivetrain coming for the trance, so the current SLX set is moving over to the Hoodoo, problem is my shifter is I-Spec B and mounted to the brakes which are staying on the trance.
Have seen the KCNC adapters but they state they aren't compatible with I-Spec B, just the original I-Spec standard.
Got a deore shifter I could use but would rather keep the SLX shifter with the SLX mech.

You can convert iSpec A to B with the right bolt set, so that might work. FWIW though if you're expecting to be able to get XT11 Ispec B shifters anytime soon you'll probably be waiting a looooong time.A Flock of Birds

The silver nut and screw on the left in the following links should allow you to attach the I-Spec B shifter to that KCNC I-Spec A clamp.

Cheers lads, having re read the tech docs, in pretty certain the shifter came with the nut to allow fitting to Ispec A which I think I've still got. So should be pretty straight forward with a new clamp.
I'm in no rush for the 11 speed XT Ben. Got most of the parts on back order now as I'm taking advantage of my 10% BC discount at CRC this month but everything I've got works well so I'm happy to wait.0
