Geoff,
The twin-cable MAFAC levers on my tandem are exactly the
same shape as an ordinary, single cable lever. So you really
can only mount them on the "hook" of the handlebar. I suppose
you could try modifying the actual lever portion of the piece,
but in that case, I wonder if you would get sufficient leverage
to properly operate the brakes.
Best of luck with the project,
