Retro fit canti's just to fit front rack? Odd decision. Plus there is no room to fit a crown mounted canti hanger. Those are more elegant (at least to an engineer) because it takes the steerer tube out of the brake load path. Using the steerer to react brake application load is a primary cause of brake chatter on bikes with cantilever brakes.
I'd leave it right here given this is what an original looks like.
