Yeah I put the rear brake on backwards because otherwise it seemed to foul the sturmey pulley and cable on the other side. The calipers aren't strictly 'period' - think they're from the 70s - so maybe that's why. Or maybe I installed the gear cable in the wrong way... but anyway it all seems to work fine (and Sheldon says it's ok)!
If I can't find the right bulbs - I'll keep searching for a bit - I'll probably splash out on the LED conversion for a SA dynohub. Would be a shame though, because I do like the murky glow of an incandescent bulb.
