Wowsers. I'd rather re-use than buy new (says the guy that's already bought a new bracket that won't fit) but we'll see.

Well yeah, I could totally change the brakes but this is a beater so I was trying to do it on the cheap.
Because the brake hole is recessed, I guess most of these hanger adapters aren't going to fit it unless I add enough spacers to push it out past the lip and then use a massive bolt.
Mind you, that Dia Compe hanger is £17 and when a whole brake set is 25..
