I love coaster brakes, and the coaster rear/drum front combo is the business.
The OP might run into a problem with the 130mm spacing. Most E-type coasters are 110 and the axles aren't easily switchable. Also, about the gauge: some hubs have larger than normal spoke holes requiring larger spokes. I had to use tandem spokes on my Steamcoaster.
