I had Paul Racers on my 56 Hilsen with P50 fenders, but the reach of those
brakes is nowhere near that of the silver sidepull. However, since mine is
one of the earlier ones (SA serial number, Toyo build), and was spec'd for
Dia Compe 750s, I'm going to give those a shot with new pads.

Hugh, The Nitto S-83 are listed as 26 mm of setback. I had one on my Coho
