I'd be tempted to try interrupter levers (or old road brake levers) on the bar ends, but the cabling would end up being a mess.
Use TT reverse levers plugged into bar ends, cable then nicely lays flat against bars running rearwards instead of looping out in front
as a bonus, then install interrupter levers where the existing flat levers are.
leave shift pods as is
adds braking ability to your bars ends, without losing anything from old hand position
