anybody know of any that don't have a curved back surface? I need some that have a flat back - project Vitus has hit a stumbling block so any help would be appreciated.

Indeed - the issue seems to be that the DT bosses are bonded to the frame with the back section being part of the boss, so standard cable stops / adjusters that I have wont fit flush as they have curved backs. Looks like a dogs dinner. Cable will sit to far out from the frame from the brifters, it'll annoy me and that simply won't do

105 DT levers plus others do have the separate back-plate that's removable, alas the masterplan is brifters on this one so the use of cable router / stops / adjuster thingies is essential. Everything I see available seems to have the curved back to hug the frame?

WTF are Brifters?????
in answer to your question grind/File the back of the adjuster (the part thats sits nearest to the Frame) so its flat but leave enough of the square so that it still locates on the gear boss. i.e. take the curve part down to the same level as the other side.
