BSA 3-speed hub

A few weeks ago, I finally laced my NOS BSA 3-speed hub in the rusty rim of my '54 BSA Tourer.
In de box of NOS spokes I have, I was lucky enough to find the right length, number AND quantity of spokes needed
First job, was checking the hub, to see if there was enough oil and grease in it.
The oil seemed to have evaporated over the years and I was surprised to find only a minimal amount of grease in is too, as can be seen below...



After servicing the hub, lacing could begin...





Trial fitting the finished wheel on the bike. Its stablemate saw all was well




Been doing some 50 km since and glad to have this lovely bicycle back on the road. Missed it...
