A Hooker frame needs Hooker brakes... Campy Delta won´t fit under the bb bracket - too big. Same to Dura Ace ax. Tririg could do the job, but they´re everything but periodically correct...
In general, if you want to run the front and rear brake cables through the stem, you MUST use Hooker brakes. If you change the stem (brrrr...), you´re able to use standard front brake and maybe Tririg rear brake after intensive mods... The Hooker brakes work different to all other Delta brakes, because they don´t require cable stop. The cable runs to them without any housing...
The frame kit always came incl. the brakes - with a good reason.
Here´s a picture of a factory fresh Cat. 1 frame kit.
