sure, here come the pictures:
Drilled the FD cable exit.
That area is metal, so no issue (very carefully) drilling it i suppose.
(I put the old shift cable back in as a guide but didn't need it later)
Cut the internal cable guides from FD and RD as close to the exit point as possible. Be careful to leave rear brake guide unharmed
Since those cable guides are too small for the Di2-plugs, you'll have to cut them off and re-solder them.
I also completely removed the (unused) 4th cable guide (SRM)
Connect 2 cables from FD and RD with battery (with small junction box SMJC41)
Slide battery down into the down-tube. For me there was a natural point where it "got stuck", but i also added that green wire so that i could pull it out by that if ever needed.
Get the rest of the cables and the small junction-box into a compact package (without bending any cables beyond reason) and stuff it in there.
Also: I filled the unused ports with silicone to minimize water ingress (only had white! Will cover with tape later)
Make sure the cables are not interfering with where your steering tube is going to go.
If you are super paranoid like me: fit some plastic sheet (i used part of a joghurt jar) in there to close off your custom cable-compartment:
I have to say this was a very satisfying project and i keep putting off buying a new bike by upgrading this classic a bit every year.
Very sustainable and makes you really appreciate your bike so much more if you spend the time with these little upgrade projects...
if you can read this
YOU'RE DRAFTING!
