This, measure it up and yeah just swap the barrel adjuster and the clamp bolt around and you're good to go. Might wanna upgrade the brake pads too while you're at it.

Cheers, I'll give this a go. The other option is to mount it on the plate in between the middle set of stays, with a straight and much shorter cable run, which would presumably make for better braking, if it works. I might be missing some reason why that's not possible though - otherwise why would the original be mounted where it is?
Potentially even using a centre pull like this, if I can find the right cable stop/ferrule. At the moment the outer cable fits through the hole in the bridge so I would need something to trap it.

I converted Dia Compe 730 no problem, it's mostly a matter of switching bolts up and down. They're 53-71mm.
