However, I have drilled and threaded holes in bottom bracket shells to install cable guides in the past. This is a solution for a rider, but if you seek to keep this in its unaltered classic form I agree other solutions must be found.
I slid it all the way down on to the lug as you all suggested and it's ok now. It misses the tube by a hair but it will work. Thank you all for your help.
