    Think I have the new 2010 ones.

    Want to move the brakes inboard but stupid windows in the way. Is there a blanking plate inside as I've heard some Shimano models have (although my old XT didn't)?

    Just bung a little sticker or bit of tape over the hole.

    OK, cheers guys.

    Always good to find a new use for Duck Tape.

    The circular protectors in this kit work well.

    I'd normally not recommend running with a bit of tape sealing anything, but seeing as ive run a set of XT shifters for 4 years without a bottom cover and had no problems I think I could make an exception. Not pretty though

    I ran an LX with an MBUK sticker over the hole for years….

    Silver duct tape has done the trick for me on some LX shifters. 3 years no issues.

    I've ran my XT shifters for the last 2 years without a blanking plate and there have been no issues.
