Yeah the bcd of the timing cranks caused issues when it came to sourcing replacement rings, but a slightly more modern crankset was long overdue for it anyway so I solved the problem that way (but still have the new-ish rings (one tour on them, about 1500 miles), if you want them).
Are lowrider bosses the bits halfway up the fork? If so, mine has them. With a tubus tara quite happily attached.

re: the drum lever - more standard is to route it to a bar end shifter, @hovis has experience of this.

Yeah, those are the ones.

Did you have to replace the headset with another JIS one or did you find a way around it? From my googling (and Sheldon), it seems mostly to be the crown race that's different with the rest interchangeable with the standard (ISO) 1" headset.

I got a nos shimano 600 one for £25 from the excellent spa cycles. and tester is spot on with the ebb bolts - I finally rounded the head on one of mine at the end of last year after years of it being not-quite-right. ho hum. will deal with that when this year's tour is a bit more pressing.
