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)?
I *think* it's only XT that have these
Just bung a little sticker or bit of tape over the hole.
SLX's have the blank, or just tape as per my XT's
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.
guitar plectrums drilled and screwed on. good times.
I've ran my XT shifters for the last 2 years without a blanking plate and there have been no issues.
