the thread for the Mafac brakes is Metric, so it is easy to find any bolt for it. I needed a longer one when I mounted a light to my Rudge, with the TA rack, on Mafac racers. Just used an allen bolt for a Cantilever boss, I believe. but mounting the rack to just the brakes just not need longer bolts. ralph philadelphia, PA
