I'm looking for ONE "Lever boss cover - for light alloy frames"

What a PITA to find!

It's the spacer that goes between the frame and a DT shifter ...

The picture below shows the one I don't want - the curved one for thin diameter steel downtubes

Need a flat one ASAP .. :!:

Anyone got one kicking around???

Thank you!
 
Until I found a decent set that came with a nos pair of levers, I just ground the raised parts down with a dremel. It's quite soft metal and easy to do if you're reasonably careful. Worked absolutely fine and I was using 7402 levers like those in your pic.

There was a similar request a while back on here and someone put a link to Madison who carry most of the spares - give them a try. If you have any luck, buy a few pairs!
 
Hi guys, thanks for replies.

Madison list it as a spare but don't carry it .. would be a 3 week wait :roll:

I don't trust the online vendors to actually have things in stock! But I'll check petra - cheers!
 
Email me your address and I'll send you one. I actually have two and a half pairs of these as I used a single one to fit my single dt shifter to a Jagwire bar end mount adapter on my vintage tt bike. The other one is therefore going spare.

If you're quick it'll go in this afternoons post.
