Glad to know I’m not alone - @t0-ster ‘s marin build up thread is a similar vintage frame set - the brakes look to sit properly on the posts. But I’m thinking at some point (maybe recently) Shimano changed their brake arms. Can’t really imagine why - cheap v brakes seem to have a deeper recess so I may be forced to use tektros. Older ‘vintage’ Shimano MTB might work but struggling to find a cheap set on eBay. Ho hum
