I purchased a pair of Shimano Sora 3300 dual pivot calliper brakes to replace some not so affective Weinmann Type 500 brakes and found that they didnt fit both with the drop and through the fitting hole front and rear.

Can anyone recommend some new brakes that would fit.

    I think you need 57mm drop like these Shimano A550

    Given the second part of his problem (fitting through the holes in the frame/fork) I imagine he actually needs http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Shim ... 550-(RX100)-Dual-pivot-brake-calipers-47-57mm-Deep-drop-NUT-fitting--Front-and-Rear-1819.htm which have nut fitting.
