Thanks. I'm about to execute a M.A.F.A.C. Racer project and I'm noticing the stock brake lever pulls a ton of cable. Modern levers don't pull as much. So if the brakes "want" you to pull a bunch of cable and you have the pads all the way up and you use levers that don't pull a lot of cable, that's the triple whammy for squishy (but powerful) braking. The math gets kind of gnarly but that's the tendency. I want to have it sorted before I get these posts brazed on. I'm leaning towards using the stock levers
I had Mafac levers on my first tandem, which also had Mafac brakes. The lever effort for emergency braking was so high squeezing that double-drilled lever would make my eyes bulge & make the veins on my neck stand out. I have bolt-on Mafac Raids on my Kogswell, operated by Shimano aero brake levers and the combination is just perfect.
