Does anybody have the original, MAFAC, factory recommended brake post/pivot location specifications (spacing between posts AND distance from axle or brake track)?

My immediate desire is for the low profile post location specs but if anybody has the same info for the rest of their brakes, so much the better.

I don't need a primer on how to place posts, I simply want to know what MAFAC recommended back in the day.

Thanks much,

Hey Corey,

It would be perfect except it omits cantilevers. I shoulda featured my target cantilever brakes more prominently.

Thanks,
John
