Rear mech advice

[steviep26]

I'm at the gear stage of my rebuild and on fitting the gear cable noticed there was no adjuster barrel.

The rear mech is a suntour ax5000(?) off a muddyfox courier and it has, I think friction shifters. Question is do i need a barrel adjuster with friction shifters? If the answer is yes anybody able to advise where and what to buy. Posted on the waned section but yet to get a hit. CRC have a Shimano adjuster but not sure if it'll fit.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

is there no adjuster at the mech itself? Sometimes they have it on the shifter and on the mech.

Nah there is a threaded hole for it but no adjuster. Cannot remember taking it off so assume it was never there.
