Bar end converter

Hi all,
SJS used to sell a gizmo that allowed a bar end gear lever to function as a flat bar lever, but I can't find it on their site.
Is anyone able to point me to another source or show me where I'm missing it at:

Thanks and Regards,
Peter Jenkins

Hello Peter
There are also these
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shimano-deore-xt-style-9-speed-thumbshifter-set-prod17430/
I fitted these on my Ripio, which has flat bars - main reason being that injured / arthritic thumbs make it difficult to push away for changes to bigger cogs on the more usual shifters.
No problems, very pleased with them.
