You'll also need to use one of the thinner cogs on the hub, like the ones that usually come with Shimano-type coaster brakes, since they'll accomodate 3/32" chain. Older cogs usually seem to only be 1/8" types.
Good to know shecky. Do new cogs fit on old models? If not, do you know if you can use a coaster brake model for a setup like this? Do chain tensioners work with coaster brakes?

A classic.
