Francophile, yes, what you are calling the nub is absent on mine. It seems like yours might be the original spec, because
I measured the mounting hole on the back of my MAFAC Racer rear caliper, and it seemed to be about 8mm in width, which would
accomodate the integral sleeve on brake side your adapter.
Eh.., feh...I spent over 50 dollars for this part (with the shipping from Greece) and waited a month for it.
Well, hopefully it will still work, and with your help, I seem to be on my way to owning a new bolt.
That bolt with the allen head is perfectly fine. Thanks so much for finding and sending that.
I am just curious: Is the end of that bolt supposed to come into contact with the brake bridge,
there-by supplying a point-of-tension?
