Sheldon Brown's site has some detail on ways to do this:

He's using two aluminum plates, which would help the stiffness tremendously.

He's using an adapter plate on Paul cantis (?). I'm not sure what that adapter plate looks like.

Sheldon used homemade adapter plates on centerpull brakes. I thought that's
what we were talking about (at least, most of us), not on cantis.

Frank, didn't you switch to 700C on your old Cannondale?

I did. My cantilevers had just enough vertical adjustment available to make
the switch with no problems. Sorry, I'm nowhere near the bike now, so I
can't tell you what brakes I've got. They're not original, but they're
nothing fancy.

Sheldon's encouraging mods with simple suggestions ? drill hole, install, bolt...?

actually a good enlargement with a rat tail file gets the pads in position.
