One option is to carve a wooden dowel, one end to fit into the bar end, the other to fit the shifter.
without knowing what’s in your parts bin, that’s the lowest cost option I can think of.
Ha HAH!, great minds think alike.

What I am struggling with is how best to hold the dowel rod to the bar. I need a bracket or hose clamp (ugh!) or ... I'll work it out tomorrow.

I have also been thinking about an aluminum bracket to hold the shifter.
