Thanks. Moving the studs was easy. Heat one up till the brazing gets soft, pull it off with a pair of channel locks, decide how far you want to move it up, and use a piece of metal bar like I did using the original stud to hold the repositioned one in place. I didn't even have to order new studs- just cleaned and used originals. Once brazed, switch sides and use the newly repositioned stud as the holder to align the second stud. I feel a little silly, since I abandoned it and went disc, but, if there's one lesson from it, I wish I had of repositioned those canti studs years ago.
Go for it!!!!
