Having done that before, getting the shifter to work properly isn't difficult, the hard part is ensuring that we do have all the necessary part to make it work (inc. the right chain length, sprocket sizes, cables length), it just take time to ensure everything is fitted.
A Gold Service sound OTT but it kinda make sense because it's technically a groupset fitting! especially with the additional work of suspension block, clamp etc.
Can you claritfy by what you meant by the new handlebar? I know you're talking about the newer shape handlebar, but what were you changing from? this is the only complication I can think of as the stem is slightly taller on the newer Brompton with the newer handlebar (the old one have a slightly shorter stem, but a taller handlebar) thus the cable housing length may not be 100% the right length to enable it to fold perfectly.

The pimping has begun, new M-handle bars, 2-speed conversion kit, new suspension block and clamp set.
@edscoble - Evans are telling me that fitting the 2-speed kit to a SS bike is an all day job, so it is a Gold Service. The part fitting is easy - but getting the shifter to work properly takes ages apparently. I call bullshit - what is the reality?
