You could probably raise the brake mounting point with some of these adapters

I was hoping for a stem that is 1" at the steerer clamp to save me running a shim, but oversized at the bars to save me needing to buy thinner bars when I have plenty of 31.8 to try.
I think a quill would look better too, but might be too much of a modern/classic clash. The other thing is that in my head at least, it sounds easier and cheaper to get the fit right using a standard stem as I have various lengths and angles at home. Which I guess means I've answered my own question - just buy a bloody shim and use a normal stem that I possess.
Agree, it still sounds risky using those fork adapters.
