Not a shiny though, are they?
The problem with all of them is that the have curved mounting surface to fit directly onto the tubes. What l need is a flat mounting surface to fit over the square section (see pic) and onto the flat surface of the fitting !
Does the curved 'shroud' not come off the braze on, most of em I've seen are plastic.
I will have another look at it but l think that the braze on fitting may well go right through the aluminium tube so as to take the stress of working the down tube shifters away from the aluminium. In any case the "braze on" is all one piece and completely solid. Dunno if that makes sense !
Ahh I know what you mean now, you need these Shimano CS50 Housing stops/flat backed bosses.
I ordered them and l haven't seen them anywhere else....just happy to get the right fitting stops. one less challenge to overcome
