I currently have some old (2007) shimano hone combined shifter/brake levers. Can I swap the levers for some normal shimano shifters?
The reason for this is I want to go 1x9, and just use a single right hand shifter pod.
Cheers

Yep.

As long as you have the correct hoses / connectors then yes you can mix and match.

newer hose is different to older hose though, I am told.

It all uses mineral oil, no? So it will be fine, if you can make it fit OK. I have an XT lever mated to a Magura caliper. Works fine.

The inner bore of the new hoses is different to the older ones, so good luck bolting a new component on one end, and an older one on the other.... Deore level and down are OK IIRC.
