Over a month ago I bought a Jtek ShiftMate Model 1 from a fellow Paceliner. He failed to include the nipple (see picture below), and then after promising to send it, has failed to respond to multiple PMs and emails. So, does anyone have any ideas on what part I could use in place of the nipple shown in the instruction sheet below?
The nipple sits between the ShiftMate body and the barrel adjuster. It sits outside the ShiftMate body where the cable exits through a small exit hole -- the nipple does not fit into the ShiftMate because the exit hole is just larger than the cable. I assume the original nipple would have just a small entrance hole for the cable on the side that faces the ShiftMate body. And then the other side of the nipple would need to mate up to the barrel adjuster. I looked around in my toolbox and chest of miscellaneous parts, but nothing jumped out as being a good substitute. I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
