I need down tube cable stops for an STI conversion but I'm not sure what I need or where I can get them. Here is a pic of the current band type friction shifters.

Can you remove the shifters from the band? If so, leave the band on and get cable stops. Search STI cable stop on eBay.
If the shifters and the band are one, you need the huret downtube cable stops sold on eBay that have braze-on type shifter mounts. I'm on my phone now so can't post a link but there are options for you.

If you can take the shifters off then you could use these https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Cabl...item53e9d45099. There are curved back and flat back stops, so be sure you get the right ones.

If you can't take them off for some reason or the current band doesn't work then you could use this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shifter-Boss...#ht_764wt_1270 or buy them together here https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cable-Stop-C...#ht_500wt_1287.
Or if you don't care about the barrel adjusters you can find clamps for that too.

Here is the bike. I'm currently running 9 speed friction, Mavic CPX22 wheels and 700x38 cross tires. Its a great all around bike. I have some 9 speed brifters and mechs not in use so I thought I'd give it a shot but I kinda like the classic set up.
