quoting what I said earlier that you must have missed also...

james_swift... interesting setup / use of the cross lever. Still you are using one lever as a bar end and another as the interleave.... think you can set it up to use only the cross levers on the flats with no bar ends or aeros ?
Just doesn't look safe to me, nor is it a mod that I would be willing to try regardless if many people have tried it before and say it works... cause it works it doesn't mean its safe. Even at that a 2 finger brake does the exact same thing and IS made for that type of setup as a stand alone (as far as I understood the OP) still seeing from that pic above the cross lever is still used as an interleave BUT the other one was converted to a bar-end.
