That's a good point! Will be careful when it's time to strip the hubs down. Will try car/motorbike restorers if I don't find any at a bike jumble !
Pathracer-
I know several NACC members who have used Villiers in the past - I suspect yours will be smaller than a vintage autocycle hub, but it might be worth giving them a ring?

MrE
You should be aware (perhaps you are already) that those existing brake linings are probably asbestos, so be careful with the dust. It's carcinogenic.
It would almost certainly be possible to find some one in the old car business who could reline your existing shoes with non asbestos material, but it's worth mentioning that I've heard the modern linings don't work as well as the old asbestos type.
