Cool project.
I've run into this issue when hybridising old road frames for my wife. Integrated V-brake levers and shifters are cheap as so coverted to Vs. V brakes worked but only in a very wide open position. I just moved the spacers from the V-pads. Alignment wasn't ideal but I changed them regularly.

After making the rack and everything I realise that the canti studs are not normal. They are only 56mm apart where there rear studs are 76mm apart. Basically it is not possible to run canti and wide rims on these forks.
So either I have to get new forks or move the studs outwards, but I am not sure how wide is possible without getting in trouble...
