I have a NOS french bottom bracket if you're interested, it's just lying around here.

I'll have a look at the local coop before ordering, ordering things is always an annoyance with shipping costs and customs fees. Shipping is another 10 pounds, and the customs fees plus processing probably another 10. Cycling related disadvantages of not being in the EU I guess.

Nice! Thank you, that's the exact same braze on.
Should I just get the dia compe set (it looks similar enough) or do you have any idea whether this part is still available?

Currently preparing a message to Bob Jackson. I'm not actually from the UK (Switzerland currently), and thought maybe this was something common I had just never seen.

Thanks, I hadn't actually thought of fitting it like that.

I know about the seat post bolt hangers, I was just curious as I have never seen this type of braze on, and was wondering what the purpose was.
The treaded caple stop in the picture I fished out of a parts bin at the local bike co-op. Washer and nut aren't pictured, I took it off for the picture. It doesn't fit all too great even after I filed down another washer for the front to fit.
I hadn't looked at the mounts closely and was expecting something like this.

I have this Bob Jackson touring bike that I am currently trying to fix up as a Randonneur/light touring bike. Previous owner had it set up with Ahead adapter, flat bars, XT levers and V-brakes.
I am trying to convert it to a drop bar setup with cantilever brakes. However, the rear canti holder looks like nothing I have ever seen before. I have googled and couldn't find a similar frame from Bob Jackson anywhere, the World Tour has a standard rear canti mount.
Does anybody know how to fix a cantilever cable stop on this type of braze on? Is there a specific part I need? Pictures are below.
I built a temporary fix with some odd parts (seen in the picture), but it is not staying in place well and scratching the paint.

It's a French or Swiss brand if I remember correctly. I can check on Monday if you are interested. I was restoring an old French frame and looked quite some time for a bottom bracket. I'd let go of it for how much I paid (about £25 I think).
But rethreading is probably the better option if you want a modern group. I did the same in the end.
