Look Ma, No Hands!
I checked, the only 12 ga hub is 40 spoke.

The only steel Sturmey hubs I have seen have been drilled up in a back shop, not factory drilled. I believe your only factory drilled options are later model aluminum hubs.
Using one of these is problematic though since they are wider...and that requires spreading/cold setting of the frame and realignment of the drop outs....plus that hub needs special controls that are different than vintage stuff and they arent included with it.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I would think that heavy duty spokes would make 36h adequate, 40h being overkill.
If I drill a standard 36h hub, I worry that it might not be safe?
I think the rim might have come to me with something like a Centrix one speed that I disassebled
maybe 20 years ago.
To make a pair, I have a 32h heavy duty front wheel that I think is factory original.
Rims are 28" Westwood rod brake, by the way
