That looks great, what gear ratio are you running? I was thinking about buying some taps; dusting off my A-level engineering knowledge and having a go at re-threading them. I do wonder if just trying to source some second-hand cranks may be cheaper/easier though.

Second vote for attempt a rethreading. Nip it to a good bike shop that is local to you and see what they can do - that would seem to fit best with the philosophy of your build so far. Alternatively source a different non-drive side crank arm from ebay and delight in a unique pedalling style!

I think my gear ratio is 44:17 maybe 16 have changed the rear few times , sourcing another crank could be cheaper but the tools for pedal taps do go fairly cheap plus it's not too difficult as the holes are already drilled and you'll have the tools for other builds (there will be more believe me) I would certainly check what SS said about the left hand thread it's an easy mistake to make,

Don't know how much shops charge but you can have the cranks rethreaded some do it to french cranks so as to take English threads, your bike is looking good added pic of my BSA cheap as chips but I love it..
