65mm front brake reach with Tektro cross lever...options?

I'm on the hunt for a long reach front brake for my old nishiki that will work with a Tektro cross/inline lever. Measuring from the mounting hole to the middle of the braking surface is about 65mm. I already have the lever, so I'm looking for a bake to go along with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It looks like this should work.

I've got a set and they are nice....nothing special but they do the job well and will definitely allow clearance for fatter tires if you want
