Turns out the bosses are for direct mount centrepull. The new ones of these are eyewateringly expensive (Paul & René Hearse), so ~~I’m looking at Magura hydro rim brakes~~. Assuming these use the same height boss>rim measurement.

edit ohhhh no I’m not. not the same mount type. Was originally Campag Euclid. Eek.

Would a pair of Weinmann centrepulls work? Available for about twenty of your English pounds on eBay. Second-hand MAFACs will be more, as they attract the Compass Cycles randonneuring tax, but last I looked you could get a used but workable pair for about fifty quid.

Possibly. What I can’t figure out is whether you can convert the stirruped crown/bridge mounted ones to direct mount. I actually have a pair of Mafac knocking around... with the centre bolts.
