Downtube gear levers on TT bars bodgery

[mattsccm]

Anyone, probably in the good old days, created a neat trick to fit down tube gear levers to TT type aero extensions? Just building yet another bike out of bits and bar end levers seem to go for silly money and I have piles of down tube levers.
Could drill and put a bolt through the ends of the bars I suppose but I love to see DIY tricks.

Stem-mounted shifter brackets wouldn't be too far away, size wise? (single-sided ones, either side of the extensions) Might need to shim them slightly.

Bodge it and Scarper!

What is this sorcery?
How did you source these adapters?

Jagwire used to do them, I'd trawl through SJS Cycles site as they have all kinds of weird stuff that solves such problems.

You will need the flat plates though
