Brake Parts

I'm looking for the front brakes for a 1971 CCM Galaxie. I'm restoring this bicycle as close as I can. I found this bike at a yard sale out in the country. It's 90% original. It just needs the tires and front brake. I have the tires on order but can't find the original front brake or handle bar brake handle. Could you help me out?

Only 3 speed models used hand operated brakes. This model is a coaster brake. If it had a front brake, it should have a hole drilled through the fork top, above the front fender for the brake caliper stem to slide into. Hope this helps. Nice bike though!

You can put an after market front brake on it, should you want to do that.Sturmey Archer makes one.
