Hi. What would be required to convert an Ultegra SL clamp-on derailleur to use it on a bike with a braze base?

Edit: Nevermind. I gave you the wrong adapter.
I did a quick search and this is all I could come up with:

Maybe nothing. I've got a couple of Ultegra front derailleurs. I seem to remember that one has a bolt to attach it to a separate clamp band and the other has the clamp band integral to the derailleur.
If yours is the former, it'll bolt right up to a braze-on fitting. (Why do we still call them braze-on's? Unless you have an old school steel frame they're either welded or bonded - not brazed.)

I have FDs with both "integrated" band and a braze-on with band adapter...
If it is "integrated" I think you need a hack saw or a new FD...
Sorry...
Edit...Have I got the progression right...I am a little confused...Too many Easter eggs you know...
