DT barrel adjusters for old MTBs?

I've got a 1986 Stumpjumper Sport that I'm rebuilding w/drop bars and barend shifters. I'd like to put some sort of barrel adjuster in the housing stops on the down tube. I'm sure they make something like this, anybody know where I can get a set?

I know what you mean but I can't say as I have seen any online lately (I have not been looking) but since most carbon bikes do not have shifter bosses these days I can imagine they are hard to find.

Just use an inline adjuster. They are very easy to find.
