The issue is that the frame won't take the 8mm shaft of the Campy bolt. It is interesting, to me, since some did and some didn't. My doesn't. The solution back in the day was to machine spacers so the modified wheel qr fit properly.
That said, a list member has informed me that for one year Campy may have made the item I want and another list member has suggested a source to contact post-Cirque that may in fact have that item. So, before I go cutting and threading, I will check out this option.
