Mafac calipers: Racers or Raids?
Did you need to massage the frame in any way (= dent the chainstays) to fit those Hetres and how are the clearances?
Had to go with Raids. No dimpling the chain stays- about 6mm/side clearance at the tire's widest point (with the wheel all the way back in the drop-outs). There'd still be enough clearance with the wheel moved up some, but the original little bolt-in spacers rub the chain on the smallest cog. I might play around with adding a spacer to either side of the axle so there's clearance with the spacers so I can move the wheel up, though I really don't think I would notice any difference at all ride-wise with the wheel moved up. Might help with the fender lines, though....
