Rob,
Sorry no info on the brake bridge, looks the same diameter as the top of the seatstays, I wonder if it was made from an offcut.
For your info, I aslo tried several blocks before finding one that was suitable.
the Maillard 700 compact fitted well but the ratios made the gearing to high for me. I ended up using a Sach 8 speed block with the two smallest cogs (12 & 13 t) removed, the gears are 14-24, the block body just misses the rear mech hanger plate that resides inside the dropout. This is an unusual block, what is your rear hub?
Regards
Boscarn
