John: I don't know how Chris did his, but I use a "studded" rod end with an 8mm to 10mm adapter to compensate for the square hole that you will find in the crossgate lever when you remove the original pin.

Or, you can buy a rod end stud to use with your existing rod end and using the same adapter fit it that way.

If there are a few of you that want to do this to improve the AB cable issue, I have some 8mm rod end studs and can make up some steel adapters.
I will be in the UK in around 10 days if anyone wants me to bring some with me I will be at DN10 5AA from Oct 24 thru Oct 27. They would be $15.00 of £11.50 each
I can ship them to anyone from the US at $15.00 + $15.00 for First Class Postage or if anyone wants to re-distribute to save postage costs, I can put 5 in the same package for $75.00 + $15.00 First Class Postage.
Priority Mail Postage is $35.00. Probably more than 5 would not change the shipping price, just figure out how many want one and multiply x 15 for the cost and then add the postage of choice.
If anyone wants to meet me and pick up anything small, EMAIL me with details and I will see if I can carry some stuff with me on the trip over.
I also have a short-shift kit that will directly bolt onto the earlier Bob B. cable kits that eliminates all of the pins in deference to using the rod end studs (they create the correct articulation clearances so the spherical bearings can move correctly). This is $135.00 + postage if anyone is interested. I have a post for these elsewhere under Transmission and Clutch.
