"front brake is crap though "
Try new shoes using modern linings and see if that helps
the old ones may be past there service life
bikes do need a good front brake

Welcome back to the fold!
Try http://www.saftek.co.uk/classics.html , they do a nice soft lining that works well on MZs.

Reline, but they do a fast service. Give them a ring

I improved the brake a lot by putting a split link in between lever and mount and bringing the lever closer to my small hands ! i can now get a decent handful of brake, however i am getting a set of leading link forks with a disc brake in the near future, hopefully this will be a good stopper...

Looks like a nice Supa5.
It's worthwhile getting a heavy duty cable from Venhill as this helps to make the best of the front brake.
