I have made a stuff up. I never thought about brakes for the front wheel on the SWB.
Are there any V brakes where the cable clamps are on the "other" way round?

ie. most cables enter the brake from the RHS (with that little curved steel tube) and the cable clamps on the LHS arm. For clearance I need to swap these around else the chain will grind the cable cover when turning.
If all else fails I will have to find an old pair of calipers that are set up that way but I would prefer not to.

Yes there are several on the market that are reversible($$$) or if you can find some of the cheap ones with steel arms you can reverse them without much trouble, I had to do it on my SWB.
