Wanted Left XT thumbshifter mount (SL-M732)

[Black_puma]

As per title, I am after a left hand XT thumb shifter mount (SL-M732) as the clamp is not holding tight, suspected damaged thread, not sure how this happened.

They are notorious for it, it's soft alloy and not enough thread length!
Fit a longer allen bolt and a nut at the back.

The XT thumbshifter mount is a different design and has no nut for the bolt to screw into, unfortunately.

Exactly.

Get a longer allen screw and fit a nut at the back, as I said.

There's a different type clamp for the XT thumbies, see below. My Pantera has DX thumbies with a steel clamp with bolt and nut, the XT thumbies (currently on my Bravado) have an alloy clamp without the nut.

Yes, exactly. BUY A NUT!

That's nuts, there's no place for it! Which part of that aren't you getting? Unless you're trying to wind me up!
