Thanks everyone for all the links. Campy does do it right, I have record on my main ride (haven't had to overhaul shifters yet), and a franken-setup on my back up bike. Shimano has always been a pain to try to fix... or get parts. I have literally a pile of 6-8 shifters to choose from for parts so maybe I'll get a working pair out of them, though Shimano carefully crafted each shifter to have non-compatible parts with others. They are close, but just different enough to make cross compatability of parts impossible. So
I think first I need to get a Tig welder and milling machine to make this project a little more cost effective and fab my own parts.
