You could just use band-on levers - either with a band that fits over the
stops (or whatever they are) on the frame, or above or below them.

How large are these "pads"?

I have some old unwanted Simplex band-on levers with 10mm (approx) square
slight recesses on the inside. Not in very god condition, but could be
useable.

The pads are about 10mm.....just nipping out to the garage to
check...(7/16)" seven sixteenths.....calculate....10.94mm. The
aforementioned pads are diametrically opposite each other and are in the
positions where I'd expect the lever pivots to be. I'm now wondering if
there were threaded tubes on the pads that have been filed down because in
the harsh LED light of my head torch, I could see the hint of an annulus
around each of the holes.

Pending the results of further enquiries I could be interested in your band
on levers.....

Next question....

What is the OLN dimension of a five speed freewheel hub? Are they still
available?
