Source for Shimano Double Housing Stop clamp

I am converting an old lugged steel frame to STI shifters and do not have braze-ons for downtube shifters. Therefore I cannot use downtube cable stops that mount on the downtube shifters bosses. The solution might be to use Shimano Double Housing Stop clamps as shown in the Harris Cyclery web site but they are unavailable with no ETA. I hate to wreck a paint job to braze on the shifter bosses.

That is the solution - I built up a little Schwinn Traveler for a friend's daughter, and used one to update the bike with 8 speed Sora.

I've a spare, if you want it. PM me your address.
