Buy some cold drawn mild steel bar at 3mm dia by 500mm long, form a rivet head on one end using home made die and ball pein hammer,cut to length required (402mm), thread other end using 5BA die, cut thread for approx 15mm, "spoke made" the inside of the wheel rim is dished to accept the rivet head of the spoke, the other end is screwed into the brass hub which is threaded (no spoke nipples), next project will be to make some period looking pedals then a period looking seat, no rush though, it's been sitting in a friends shed since 1958 so a few more months wont hurt
