One more question about the Hercules rebuild.

But first, some background. It's a 1960's? AMF imported Hercules with the Hercules chainguard, not the Raleigh one.

What would be the correct type of brakes for this bike? It's missing both, or rather, I bought the bike about 10 years ago, pulled the brakes off to clean them, and subsequently lost them. Additionally, I have no idea what they looked like.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm also thinking of breaking tradition and going with some universal or mafac side pulls as I really like their stopping power.

Thanks.
