I think it's difficult. SRAM pull ratio is so low that you need nearly twice as much cable pulled through compared to a normal shifter. From memory it needs to be able to pull about 30mm of cable to go through the whole range of the cassette. It might have enough but I seem to remember that most Shimano-compatible shifters only pull 20-25mm at most.
Not keen on TT500 bar ends? You can get a used set for £20-30
Edit: I need to mess with my derailleurs today, I can maybe try a Huret shifter on an Exact Actuation derailleur and see if can pull through the entire cassette if you like?

What are the odds of this working with a full length cable housing to a 10-speed SRAM Exact actuation derailleur?

This bike has no cable stops or guides of any kind, and I have everything bar shifters left over (the current levers have no working internals).
PS
I know the rear brake housing is too short. I cut it before the brake was adjusted as I was used to the arm going up as the brake is adjusted, but with single pivot brakes it turned out to be the other way round.

If anyone knows of a better solution for the bottle cage, I'm all ears. Would rivet nuts be a bad idea?
