rive gauche, thanks for the offer and uploading the pic. I have however managed to get a new Shimano Deore LX (T660) top swing FD for really cheap.
I'm happy to report that I don't get any rubbing in any of the gear combos! And it only took me about 45 minutes to swap and adjust it.
For anyone interested the new cage is about 19mm at the front and the old Deore cage (FD-M590) is about 17mm. Amazing what 2mm can do.
Even with the wider cage, it's shifting better than before. It's only really wider towards the opening so it doesn't affect shifting ability.
