Ahhh, misunderstood. I have threadless 1” spacers too.
I think the stem on there looks the nuts; I’d just acetone the logo off and say ‘done’!
I have a similar vintage beater/commuter Galaxy, that delights and bewilders equally. I went through three types of cantilever arm on the fork (Deore, Tektro, Kore) before using a file and bodging the v-brake pads with thinner spacers. I also used a Tektro doodad to prevent judder. It works but, as you say up thread - throwing that many pieces at a single brake that has such variable results if not set up correctly; it’s kind of bonkers. I’d go mini-V next time : )
