Thanks cs1, after looking at the price of the front shiftmate (£40!!!) I figured I will just try the campy front shifter, if it works then great, if not I will just use a friction bar end on that side as I hardly touch the FD - I just hate using the bar end for the RD as I like to shift a lot! It actually works out cheaper to get the campy shifters and a shiftmate than it would to just get 8 speed shimano shifters! Also I don't like sora so...!
I will make sure I post finished pictures
