iirc they have different thickness rubber pads between the lever and the clamp body which adjusts the reach0

Be careful the adjuster screws are really soft and disintegrate easily.0

sora doesn't have adjustment screws, it's rubber pads...

Mine do, perhaps the newer ones are different though (mine are a few years old).0 -
Mine do too, but they're 8 speed. The tech sheet sungod is linking to are clearly 9 speed.0

yep i'm talking 9 speed, should've made it clearer, soz etc.my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0

I have the current 9 speed Sora and can confirm there are no screws. The bike should have come with little wedges that fit in the gap created when you pull the brake lever.0

My bike didn't come with the adjustment blocks, and i've had zero luck in getting hold of any. Tried several bike shops and online - nobody seems to stock the Sora ones, and none appear willing to get hold of any, I guess because they'll make so little profit on them, I think they only cost about £1.50 each.
Maybe your LBS will be nice enough to order some in.Ribble New Sportive

....picked up two pairs of the rubber shims from my LBS (who supplied my bike a few weeks back) earlier today...they admitted they hoard them from the bikes they make up - apparently every set of shifters comes with the spares - but they are always there for the asking, free of charge!0
