Shimano Shifter fell off! Where to buy the right part? (Pics)
I have a late 80s (1987 I think) Shogun Katana; I bought it a couple years ago new old stock.
I took it for a ride the first time this year (warm day) and the right shifter fell off. I think there is a bolt or something that came loose and I couldn't find it on the road. I've attached pictures.
Does anyone recognize this shifter?
Or do you know what sort of bolt or whatever would work to fix the shifter and where I could buy one?
Do you know if I have to replace the whole shifter? If so, do you know the model of the shifter? All it reads is "Shimano Light Action SIS"—but there are many Shimano Light Action shifters that look different and with different model numbers.
Pictures attached. I've also attached one picture of the right shifter for contrast (would the left shifter use the same sort of bolt?).

The left side is the same screw you would need for the right. Any bike shop that works on bikes with down tube shifters should have one. If not just look on eBay.

No it isn't. The screw for the left shifter has a wider head and has the typical D ring affair of a friction shifter mounting screw. The screw for the right shifter is more like a standard machine bolt.

That is a pretty easy fix. The threading is the same as a water bottle boss screw so as long as you can find one with a head that fits the space for it in shifter you should be good.

Oh, wow. I wonder when happened. I know the store was going out of business a couple years ago, but then I remember the site was bought and remodeled and still selling bike parts.
