I've no idea but surely it would be possible to make some sort of hanger if necessary?
Hmm, this is going to be a rubbish description.... the two holes near where the mech goes are too high or too low for a braze-on mech to bolt straight on. There was originally a little magnesium piece that bolted on, and had an alloy 'nut' that the braze-on front mech bolted to. This allowed some vertical adjustment.
There's some pics on this website, and I think the guy who runs it has spares for the front mech hanger...
