Am interested in trading for or buying, in order of preference: Silver
shifter square washer; replacement shifter mech minus pod; replacement
shifter mech with pod.

Thanks.

When you say pod, that tells me you are asking about Silver Shifters in the barcon configuration.  The square washer for a barcon configuration and the square washer for a downtube configuration are two different things, so you should specify in your request.  Although the downtube version is soft aluminum and can be easily filed down to resemble the barcon version.

Good point! I have spare left and right downtube square washers--the
ones with limit stops for the shifters.

Now I'm confused. Mine are steel, square holes, little limit stop
nubs, left and right side specific. There's nothing like them in my
bar end shifters.

OK, perhaps the Silver ones with the stops are steel.  All mine are the original Suntours, where that part is aluminum and very easy to file down.  That square part for Silver shifters in the barcon configuration has no stop.  It's a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.  That's a metaphor for how I feel about myself sometimes.  


The Riv photo of the pods has the circle/square rendition.

Ah, gotcha.

Patrick, if nothing else turns up, you're welcome to one of my DT
washers. I'm confident you can caveman the nub off, even if it is
steel.

Patrick is notoriously famous for his irresponsible and deplorable removal of steel with power tools.

Thanks for all the help and offers. After posting I realized that it
is not the square washer that is missing but the little plastic
friction washer -- sorry for the confusion. I did however discover
that Riv offers these for sale at $1/pr (part # SH12) and I ordered on
the phone after a nice conversation with John.
