Run a 6v battery pack to power it up, I've got the same front lamp on my latest project (1986 3spd Raleigh City) but I'd got a Shimano 'dynahub' kicking around in my shed (left over from when I converted Marian's Dawes over to a front wheel electric drive kit) so got my wheelbuilder to lace it up to the another rim the same as he'd laced the original 3spd SA hub (converted from 26x1 3/8 to 700c wheels for better tyre choice)

The bike shop is in Leicester not Peterborough and the guys name is John. He'll be really busy at this time of year though building wheels for racing sidecar outfits (A lot of CRMC and VMCC sidecars and most of the Morgan 3 wheelers that race have wheels done by John) in fact he often returns to the shop after he has closed and works til 10-11 at night with the radio on (not much of a TV fan) as then he doesn't have the distraction of customers.

No you've got the right guy it's just that his name is actually John, the shop is called Bob Warner cycles and a lot of people mistakenly call him Bob.
He is a famous wheelbuilder not only for bikes but classic sports cars and motorcycles/sidecars and Morgan 3 wheelers.............. even prams
