Cable Adjuster for C Record RD
I'm assembling parts for a C Record dress up for my De Rosa. I have a 1st Gen C Record RD which is in its natural state as designed for friction shifting. I want to put 6 speed Syncro on it so will need a cable adjuster for tuning. The Campy adjusters for this purpose are rare and very expensive when available.
Anyone used an alternative solution for this? I'm thinking about this. The slot on the RD is 5 mm, no thread.

OK, still trying to work this one out.
I got the adjuster listed above and it was slightly too big. I tried grinding it down to size but it thinned the wall down too much and it broke. I tried another set from China (advertised as 4 mm) for $2 shipped and although they're pretty nice, still too big.
Still searching, right now I'm thinking of rigging up an inline adjuster with the step down ferrule on the chainstay.
