Charles,
I don't remember when they came out, but there were small chromed steel housing stops that threaded into the shifter bosses. They were aftermarket bits; I believe mine came from Palo Alto Bicycles. They didn't cover the bosses or have adjusters for cable tension. Not terribly elegant, but they did work.
