Very many wheels would have been repaired on Sevens and similar. Important no kinks or wanders including welding induced as cannot pull into shape as readily as with bicycles. Think one of the Club sites covers rebuilding.
Based on wheel lifting antics with my RP I have great faith in origianal spokes. Often too stretched. Many replacements of single gauge and look clumsy. Often nipples damaged. Dunno if can get the exact obsolete non Whit form cycle thread, or taps and dies for.
(Spectators were amazed at the distortions of the wheels of the Rubber Duck car when cornering, but wheels survived. Seems slip angle was not confined to the tyres!)
Spokes should not be treated with acid rust concoctions.
