Finally made a bit of progress with this one today.
Thanks to a care package from @
nlerner for this and the '52 Superbe I'm building, I now have the correct fulcrum clip on the 3-speed cable. It only took three or four tries out of my parts bin and eBay before finding Neal's correct one.
I also started soldering the cable ends I'd bought off eBay. I tried doing them the nice way...but this way meant the cable isn't splayed at the end of the stop for safety's sake:
I gave it some thought and then decided I'd rather have ugly ends done right than risk a cable failure.
After solder, but before finishing to remove the burrs. I wound up re-doing the front cable three times before getting it right, so it wound up looking much better than this then done.
Sure enough, I didn't capture the final one until I installed it.
Either way, it's back together now. On that note, I completely failed to ask if anyone happened to have two things - a spare brake lever nut, which was one of the few bits of hardware too rusty to save off the original bike...
...and a replacement screw and nut for the headlamp mount. Like an idiot, I bagged everything and somehow
still managed to misplace these.
