By measuring from the center of the mounting bolt to the middle of the brake track ('84 Univega Viva Sport w/27" wheels) on each of the front and back wheels - just in case they were different - I came up with 49-50mm. What is funny is that the front has a recessed mount, and the rear is nutted. Go figure.
