Hi List, yesterday I worked on my on topic Rowona Cyclo-cross bike, mounting the Mafac brakes I collected. I had a couple of missing parts ordered at Renaissance Cycles and thought I will be fine when I noticed that the cable-clamping bolt used on on of the "froglegs" is not the same as the one on Racer brakes. So I fabricated a pair using a M6 bolt in which I drilled a 2mm hole. Works fine but looks not so "original". Does anybody have a couple of those original bolts flying around and is willing to trade or sell? I am also Looking for the chrome bolts used to mount the brake to the frame bosses, the ones with the big flat heads (13mm hex i guess). Are those the same used on the Racers for mounting the brake arms to the base? Does anybody have a source for Racer pads? Are there fitting replacement pads from coolstop?

Best regards
