1. There were several versions of the downtube shifter wing/bolt. I have at least two of them. Some say PATENT or PAT CAMP on the outside and some say <C> in the middle, and the newer <C> ones are longer, for the nylon bushings, and won't work with the older shifters, for brass bushings. Come to think of it, one set I have is <C> for braze-ons. They screw into the older downtube shifters, but bottom out before they are tight.

2. Can someone tell me if Art 426 wing/bolts really exist at Ceeway ? I melted some Campagnolo wing/bolts trying to get the rechromed, and i've been looking for a few replacements :

Anyone in San Diego making orders with Ceeway regularly ??
