Sigh.... I broke it...

I'm fixing up an old lugged steel Schwinn road bike for a friend. 6-speed freewheel with downtube shifters. The right shifter was a bit gritty, so I took it off to clean it with WD-40, and it sort of fell apart on me. As I was putting it back together, I broke a piece. So I need a new right shifter. It was a Shimano 6-speed SIS with friction and index modes. See pics here:



It goes on a brazed on boss on the frame like this:



So can I get pretty much any 6-speed index shifter for braze-ons to replace it? I want to stay with index capability and not use a friction-only shifter. Is Ebay the best source for this sort of thing? I see that I'll likely have to buy a set and just have the left shifter leftover. For example, would these shifters work?

I bought SunRace 6-Speed Clamp-on Downtube Shifters (28.6mm Clamp Size) with housing stops @ eBikeStop.com 6 years ago to replace my bar-end shifters. I had to improvise a new mount because the frame had cable stops (and my frame is too thick for the mounting clamp they come with) at the mounting point but that was cheap and easy. I still use them.

The answer to your question is...yes.

If complete ..

indexing is actually a complication IMO.. friction shifting is reliable.

Thanks for the advice guys! I ordered these:
