Subject: [CR]Raleigh International Brake Question

I dragged home what appears to be a pretty original 1973 or so International. Everything except for the bars/stem and brake levers seems to be right. But the front brake caliper is a Weinmann "610 Vainqueur 999", and the rear caliper is a GB "Coureur 66". Which one (if either) is the correct caliper for this bike?

Also, any hints on how to deal with a loose headbadge rivet on this bike. The top one is loose and the Heron's beek is going to snag a rag one of these days. I have the fork out so would be a good time to fix this.

Thanks much, Jon Williams
