Yeah that's right, the thread matches the old pads. It's so so much better now! Frame is a Balk (rebadged Eddy Merckx Pista, but rather ratty and under the radar, which I quite like ) originally a "hire" bike from a track in Rotterdam (I believe). The EDCO headset was a bargain NOS from a Ripley jumble many moons ago; honestly the best threaded headset I've ever owned. I had to get the central spline of the brake modified so it would fit: It's now an eccentric spline that threads through the crown and then moves up so the caliper has enough drop to work.
