Does anyone have experience of converting braze- on Simplex reftrofriction shifters (this kind) to band-on?
I want to move them onto another frame so was thinking something like this could do it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-VINTAGE-SIMPLEX-DOUBLE-DOWNTUBE-GEAR-LEVER-CLIP-WITH-FIXING-BOLT-X51/292807321046
I know that pre-dates the shifters somewhat, but I'm hoping the fitting / threading is the same...

Band-on shifters are generally braze-on ones with a band. Do you have access to a community bike dump kind of place that would have old parts lying around? Finding something compatible shouldn't be too hard.
