I agree that it's easy to find a 36 hole SA hub.

The problem I've run into is the rear axle spacing on an old ten speed is still too wide, and though it can be forced together with the axle nut, it winds up stripping the nut. And the nuts are a peculiar thread size, I think. So you (and I) might have to consider getting the spacing on the rear stays adjusted. I'll try to post some pics...
