I recently fitted new SS spokes to the front of my 70 model. I used wheel building instructions from a NOC website, unlike when I did the rear in bygone days when I worked it out for myself.
It was only after lacing it up that I realised that it had been incorrectly laced for the last 30 years or more. So it's a good thing I had proper instructions, rather than just copying what was there. Instead of trying to set up a truing fixture, I just put it into the forks on its own axle. Now it runs centrally in the forks for a change.
Cheers
