The lay out of braze ons and cable routing is one of my pet peeves. Excepting the paint issues i'd reposition any bit that didn't meet my requirements. Try grinding off the stops. Limits the heat cycles and paint damage and will work reguardless of their attachment method. Don't be surprised if there's tubing distortion where the old stops were placed (or clamped during brazing).
