Hi Robert,

Your post is a little bit confusing to me. Do you need the aluminum or older chromed steel lever STOP plates, which are the first thing applied when installing the (Campy, yes?) shifters? These are generally flat from side to side, with a little corner turned out to create the lever stop and have a square hole to fit over the innermost part of the braze-on fitting. Or, do you need the simple circular washers (usually yellowed white, later gray plastic, and much earlier also metal) that go on next, in between the stop plate and the inside recess in the shift lever? Or perhaps do you need the Campagnolo stamped outer or friction washers that were originally flat, and were later sort of convex shaped? These are what the final friction screw presses up against.

Likely, I have spares of any of the above ... just let me know.

I'm trying to move some downtube levers to a Rivendell bar end adapter.??? What I need is the little (usually silver) plastic washers that fit over the braze-on and provides stops for the levers.? The problem with the set I have is they have a curved swoopy side that is meant to mate with the down tube's curvature.? The bar end adapter needs the flat washer type. Does anyone know where I might pick up some of these?
