schadenfreude

Hi
I have a Raleigh Grand Prix that is VERY sentimental to me.
In my fixed gear craze I foolishly filed braze-ons off this beautiful frame.
So here's my question:
Can anyone braze cable stops back onto this bike?
I don't have the stops but if you point me in the right direction I could get them.
I need rear brake stops and a derailleur stop, maybe two as well.
Any help would be gladly welcomed.

sad. Braze ons should cost enough that it's more than the bike is worth.

its like a kitten he killed, and then buried in the pet cemetary.

(it might come back, but it will never be the same)

Well, I've done stupid things I've later regretted. Filing braze-ons off of vintage frames isn't one of them, though.
