Campy Front derailleurs-Convert from Braze-on to clamp on?

Can I convert a pre Quick shift Campy FD from braze- on to clamp on?

Thanks

You can buy a clamp that allows you to mount a braze-on derailer.

Sure buy a separate clamp. Campy has one. I prefer that setup.

If I remember correctly - Campy only makes the two larger sizes in clamps
and sells the smaller more common diameter seattube mount front derailer.

Nope, sorry.
Campagnolo makes no front changer 28.6mm and offers no adapter clip.
Requires an aftermarket adapter.

Andrew, did they just stop within the last couple of years? Seems to me that
I bought a clamp mount front derailer not too long ago.Just went down and
there it is on my titanium Merckx. But it may be an older one and not new.

All Campagnolo 28.6 fronts were dropped after 2006 along with Italian
version of the ubiquitous 28.6 BZ adapter clip.
The Free China Taiwan-ROC part looks nice, works well, costs little,
just not 'prodotto italiano'.

I have taken Andy's advice and now stock only brazeon FDs. Along with
shimano, Campagnolo and asian clamps(28.6) of the 3 sizes. ANYTHING to
reduce part numbers.
