Not a problem if you can find a Shimano shift lever boss to solder on - If you go with a standard lever that fits the campy type boss you just silver solder on the boss using a jewelry torch and regular silver solder and flux used for soldering copper pipe plumbing - Yes this works - And yes it is strong enough to do the job - Follow the links for a little ore info...
