Advice on adding a simple single pivot rear brake to the rear of 2005 Dahon Boardway

Any pictures, links or advice on adding a simple single pivot rear brake to the rear of a 2005 Dahon Boardwalk S1 -- (or frankly any type brake) -- I removed the coaster brake and now have a freewheel -- no problem losing the rear fender if needed to get something to work -- want to avoid welding on the frame.

Thanks
Harvey
