901's don't usually mod well as the brake arm design is usually too high to fit under most downtubes

probably ok on a performer but if its a straight downtube like my dp not a prayer as it will snap the cal in half

Terry , don't ruin the caliper ,, just buy /trade for a DC 880 , the best solution

just get a front or even a rear 880 and swap your front spindle over

i've read loads of times people getting rid of the quick release on brakes and there's no need, all i did bitd was stick an adjuster where the pinch bolt was and remove the weinmann adjuster and stick a pinch bolt in.
