Tried the Sheldon Brown method on the brake calipers and as the MAN himself so describes it worked like a charm. I think I'm going to make a little change if I end up using these caliper in that I'll make a radius washer to fit inside the fork tube and use a lock washer behing that to make sure nothing lets go at the most in opertune moment.

Thanks for the heads up Sheldon. I will perform my due diligence to make sure this stuff is ok and if it doesn't do the job the fellow told me to return all or part and he would refund my purchase price. I figure thats a pretty good deal.
