For the gear cable guide on the down tube, the only new one I've found is this one:
www.sjscycles.co.uk
which I've just used recently and it works fine (presuming you're using modern bar-mounted shifters).
For the cable guide under the bottom bracket, just buy a regular one like this
www.sjscycles.co.uk
- although your frame might not have a hole to mount it, so you'll have to glue it on with epoxy glue or similar.
For the front derailleur you need to buy a 'band-on' one, rather than 'braze-on', although there is actually an adaptor to convert to band-on in case you do buy a full groupset with a braze-on FD. Again, I've used one of these recently and it works fine.
Alternatively, modern FDs also generally have a larger band size than the old 28.6 size, so you would need to get an adapter for that if you get a band-on FD. Something like this:
Origin8 Clamp-On Double Frame Cable Stop
- Cable stop for rear brake or derailleur housing - Mounts around any round tube with 28.6, 31.8 or 34.9 mm - Lightweight MT-213 CNC'ed alloy construction
which I've just used recently and it works fine (presuming you're using modern bar-mounted shifters).
