mine? yes. No mech hanger i think. Will that be an issue? So regarding the braze on, I guess the question is can I run a gran sport rear mech off a simplex type sgfter lever? It's never simple, is it..?

Sure, they’re all dead simple friction shifters.
The Simplex 51 shifts better according to some.
Huret and Benelux are strong contenders too, Huret were more innovative and Benelux are very British.
