How old's the bike? Occasionally the moulded plastic Huret-compatible braze-on levers with the "heron's head" logo embossed into them come up on eBay - just the ticket for mid 80s to mid 90s Raleighs.

I will have some indexed six speed shifters you can have, once I get some replacement friction shifters: I've gone 8 speed!

I tried fitting some Campag Synchro II levers, but they wouldn't screw down far enough, so the levers were lose and the ratchet wouldn't engage.
