The Racer calipers are made for a recessed mount fork right? I was wondering about that. I've seen the recessed nut replaced with a regular nyloc nut or similar. What's the extra long bolt adaptor you're going for?
Yemble-
Yeah seems so. They don't reach as is even if I were to swap for a bolt like that.
It's this: https://www.paulcomp.com/shop/service-parts/brake-parts/racer-adapter-kits/
I can't find a UK stockist at the moment, so will have to see if anyone I know is going to the US any time soon. That or possibly consider different brakes.

Been away for a bit, but starting to put things together.
Easy bits this evening. Handlebars, bottle cages and cable hangers.
Handlebars, gone for Ritchey Venturemax Classic
Bottle cages, the lovely Sim Works John Cages
And, cable hangers - Paul Funky Monkey front and Nitto AS-5 rear.
Tried fitting the brakes, but turns out I need the extra long bolt adapters for the Paul Racers, and I think the Funky Monkey might need to be sized down to the 7/8ths to go with the 1" quill stem. The 1" seems to be too big. That or a shim.
