I was recently servicing my brakes and pulled the bonehead move of not spraying down all my connections with rust-off or penetrating lubricant. Unfortunately my auto mechanic "bigger hammer" mentality did not pay off as I broke and stripped the front brake cable hanger and the adjuster screw threaded into it. This looks like a pretty easy part to replace but I wanted to make sure that I am purchasing a part that will fit my bike. The brakes work for now so this is not an emergency fix, I will also be replacing the cables and the bar tape while I am at it as both are looking a little neglected. So I pose the following two questions...
1. Will this style of front cable hanger fit the bike?

2. Should I replace the brake levers while I am at it? If so what brake levers would you suggest? (I would prefer white)
