If you've still got them, can you tell me what they're like if you remove the lever part? In other words is it just a standard fitting for any downtube lever like these Paul ones?
or
I have a bunch of spare downtube shifters but would like a mount to use them as thumbies. But not paying Paul prices and don't want to buy Sunrace ones unless I know they'll work.

It is more like the second one, though not exactly alike.
According to Rivendell you can mount a regular DT shifter, if you file away this nub on the Sunrace shifter. But I just replaced the shifter lever with a shimano DT-unit.
The SunRace ones are decent enough, but in the end I swapped the levers for shimano ones and just use friction on a 9-speed casette. You'll get used to friction really fast in my experience.
