Hi folks,
I need a couple of brake spare parts, ideally from a Mafac S rear caliper, though parts from other brakes may work.
First I need a rear brake bolt. The caliper I have has the vertical mount for obscure French frames, as shown here (on a Racer caliper, not an S):
The bolt needs to measure 12mm across the flats, and should be a shallow head, no more than a few mm.
Second, I need a pair of alu brake shoes. Any standard caliper shoes shoes work. I have a set of blocks to put in them, so blocks aren't needed. The S used standard threaded stud mountings on the brake blocks
Finally, if anyone has any interesting front and rear hangers then please let me know. They don't need to be Mafac, ideally chromed steel in good condition. If you have something with a QR mechanism then that would be great.
Cheers,
Gareth.
