I need some advice and possible spare parts. I'm building a touring bike from an Orange P7 which has a sliding vertical dropout. I'm using the Alfine 11 hub. Now i would like to run the shifter cable along the TT and down the seatstay as that is where the cable guides are on the frame. Now i believe the no turn washers that came with the hub (blue and green, 8R and 8L) are designed for for vertical dropouts to run the cable along the chainstay. So in order to run the cable along the seatstay I need different no turn washer to angle the hub cable slot towards the saddle.
I found this chart for no turn washers, and i think I would need the Grey and Black washers (7R and 7L). Can anyone confirm this is the case? If so has anyone got any spare? Cheers!

That looks like the Alfine 8 chart. Not the 11
Washers are the same, checked against the Alfine 11 instructions
I run the same arrangement with an Alfine 11 and OnOne Scandal with horizontal dropouts. I used the washers that came with it i.e blue green but reversed, this gives the up the seatstay routing you are looking for, the green washer sits on the non drive side with the tab poining backwards and the blue on the drive side again tab backwards.
Hi Pistonbroke. I dont have horizontal dropout, just vertical like a normal deraileur system (90 degress). Only the bracket that dopout is in is sliding, would you say this will still work? I would imagine I can only get the cable insert to point along the chainstay in this configuration, hence why i would need different angled washers.
Sorry, didn't read the original post carefully enough, not sure the green/blue combo will work as the tab will be at a completely different angle. Worth playing about with swapping them side to side though. I've got a feeling that the silver/black combo is what you want. You could try OnOne for replacement washers.
Tried the washers on the opposite sides, and it seemed to do the trick. Will update once the build is further on to confirm if this worked.
