  1. I have Dura-Ace downtube shifters that are mounted on braze-ons. This is old 7400 series Dura-Ace. When I removed the shifters for cleaning the plastic part between the frame and the actual lever broke. They we're just too old and simply fell apart.

    Is this a standard part?

    I noticed that the new 7800 series brake/shift levers use this point to attach a cable stop.

    Can I keep my braze-ons and use it with new stuff?

    Will Campagnolo gear fit these braze-ons?

    Thanks,

  2. Is this a standard part?
    No, but you can probably still get one.
    Go to a good local shop--they should have an old parts bin from which you can scrap that little plastic piece or a whole shifter. It is unlikely that you can get that old of a part as a replacement through Shimano.

    Yes. The cable stops fit standard braze-ons

    Will Campagnolo gear fit these braze-ons?

    Yes

  3. You can still buy new DA down tube shifters. SL-7800

    If you are talking about the boss covers, I don't know for sure, but I thought that part was common for the previous couple of generations of the Shimano downtube shifters.
    See:

    many LBS will have new ones in stock in their small parts inventory for you to compare. They can also be had from some on=line vendors such as:

    Yes, those are the ones! Loosescrews says that they are the same for all downtube shifters and they certainly look like in the PDF.

    Great, thanks
