[Closed] Hope Match makers and Shimano XT 780 shifters do they work together?

I have some Hope match makers for XT shifters and a pair of XT fm780 shifters.
Now am I missing a trick here because I can't get them to work together.
do the match makers only work with older XT shifters?
Cheers
Paul

Got exactly the same problem, reminds me now to see if I can get them changed assuming Hope now make an updated version? Plus when you take the windows of the shifter you need a special cover from Shimano and there currently on back order so for the time being i'm used good old Duck Tape 🙂

Theres been a couple of threads on this already here and elsewhere and I think the only current solution is to re-engineer......

just done this myself, you need the new matchmaker mounts for xtr. they need to be marked m780-i, then you need to get the shimano i spec conversion kit. this combo works well

Got my matchmakers today. For new xt shifters you need the xtr mm's (they have xt 780 stamped on them).
