interruptor with nonaero?

hi all, i have a '60s motobecane with weinmann brake levers on the drop bars. i want brakes at the top riding position but i'm not sure if it's at all possible to install interruptor/cross/auxiliary levers with a nonaero setup. would i have to settle for those horrible extension levers? any other alternative?
thanks!

Buy some aero levers. They will be a nice upgrade to your braking performance and you can use cross levers.

the Classic & Vintage forum may be of better help.
