Overbury's Peak Finder

I'll put in another vote for keeping that paint job. Will look lovely alongside rechromed / cleaned / new components.

I still see a good few Overburys being ridden round Bristol - I have a vague hope I'll one day discover a neglected one in someone's shed, ripe for a @luckyskull -style touring rebuild.

I got sidetracked, but it's all nearly finished.
I finally have mudguards, which still need a bit of fettling to get perfect, but they are on at least. They weren't designed with a front mech in mind, so I will need to do some basic metalwork, and the clip around the chainstay bridge needs sorting out.
I have a chain and cables, but my cable cutter is currently 100 miles away.
I'm now starting to think about racks. Probably a porteur rack for the front, although there is a little Velo Orange front rack, that fixes to the brake bosses, which might look pretty good.

Is there a bike restorer's approved way of removing a broken dropout adjuster?
It's been liberally doused with WD40. Assuming I can find the correct thread in the workshop somewhere, I thought I'd start by putting two small nuts on the exposed end, and then counter tightening them to lock them together.
That should give me enough purchase to try and unscrew the broken bit, I hope.
