Thank you for your interest, all. No progress this weekend, but I should fix the interference between the chain & retaining nut today.

Here are pix of the pieces which allow it to be mounted to a 1010 d/o:

Ah yes. That flanged nut would have been difficult to fabricate. At least for me. Glad you found one.

You aren't going to claim this is the only derailleur you've ever had that problem with, are you? Ghost shifts were a feature common to all derailleurs I've every tried if they weren't adjusted perfectly. Which is... well, most of them, at one point or another.

I could readjust and readjust, and the derailleur wouldn't stay where I put it. I'll try it again if you want me to.
