Looking for just a little guidance on the front brake set-up. My front brake cable was trashed and locked up when I bought it. Think it was jury rigged aswell. Here's some picks of what came with it. Pretty sure I'm missing a lower return spring? The lever I'm pretty sure isn't correct? The lever pivot bolt I'm positive is incorrect. Bought a new cable didn't come with a spring. There's a pic of the new cable and old one. Saw a small front brake kit for sale for 77+ CT 70's it comes with a spring, barrel and special nut ( I already have the barrel and nut). Think I need one, plus a new lever and a new lever pivot bolt, plus a bolt and nut for the lower actuator arm. All advice is greatly appreciated.

That looks like the right brake arm + parts. That tabbed washer is a wear indicator. If the arm fits the cam splines, use it. You will need an M6 bolt + nut + washers to mount it on the cam.

Yes all the parts in the first pic were on the hub and assembled with the old brake cable attached. just no bolt. Yep, I have some m6 bolts and parts I can use.
