Front brake stay?

[twister]

I'm putting a Felt front brake on my Felt cruiser, and would like to know how to make an anchor point for the front hub? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks,Dave.

Most the guys use a seat post clamp, or similar.

Thanks Mike, I'll give that a try.

For the record: Felt sells Sturmey-Archer drum hubs. Felt does not make a drum hub themselves.

That being said, depends on your fork. Sturmey-Archer makes the purpose-built front clips in 17.5mm or 22.2mm diameter. They make a 1" clip to, but that's more or rod bakes. If your fork is too fat for those, you can drill out the brake arm and use a seatpost clamp as Mikey suggested, or you can use a hose clamp. I've been running a Sturmey x-fd on a set of very fat Landing Gear forks for years now; no issues.
