Thanks for all the help; it both clarified the issues and lifted me out of a stuck place.
I had thought about the spacer solution, but living out in the boonies I thought tracking down an M5x35 allen head bolt and a 20 mm spacer seemed unlikely. As luck would have it, I had to go into "town" ( 45 miles round trip) today and much to my surprise Sticks and Stuff actually had the parts I needed! Jetising the Paul's was never really an option, one because they are the easiest cantis to set up and live with ever and two because I owe them my life, literally. (Stopped alive in front of the dreaded right hook.) Anyway almost all my bikes have Paul's brakes - the Ram has Racer Ms and the tandem studed Racers. Only my old racing bike has Chorus, and my wife's has Superbe. Anyway things are back together, but I am still wondering if I wouldn't be better off swapping the rack with the Nitto Mini ( I misspoke when I wrote M12) which is now on the Ebisu I am preparing for sale. One bolts to the fork and one to the brake.
