1940 Raleigh Sports Tourist-how do I rebuild the old brake cables?

A few photos of my new old Raleigh Sports Tourist from 1940, based on the date stamp on the Sturmey Archer AW hub with the single digit year 0:

What is this faint registration stamp on the top of the front fender? City registration? Or manufacturing related?

If you have any advice about restoring the old brake cables, please join me here: http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vi...d-housing.html

And, I really wish there was some kind of 3-speed tour anywhere near where I live! Central Texas isn't exactly English bicycle country. I'll have to travel to tour someday.
