I had the same problem on my last project, and resorted to use AICAN Aluminum C Brake Shoes on my long reach tektros. They're pads housings with a 10-15mm offset. They're probably not the best solution but I haven't had any issues and I'm sure you could get similar pads housing cheaper... At least cheaper than a pair of new brakes.

650b conversion ran into this issue:
Those are 73mm drop Tektro R559s. Is Dia Compe 750 center pull my only hope? They claim to have 78mm drop which seems like it'll just do the job.
I've never done center pull/canti etc. What is the way to hang the cable for front and rear brake. Front solution if above headset needs to be as thin as possible as there isnt much steerer.
