Seriously: Install the Pauls right: get someone to do it for you if you can't do it yourself. That will solve your shuddering problem, give you good braking front and rear, save you from having to find a different brake lever, and absolve you of the aesthetic sin of mismatched levers and brakes front and rear.
Or not, it's your bike. But well set up cantis really ought to solve your problem and look good doing it, besides.
