I read that cross tying helps the wheels withstand torque? Might be a good idea as the rear drum brake can torque the rear wheel hubs quite a lot assuming it is any good? Thanks for the advice on the 14 gauge double butted spokes!
I do have a MIG welder so maybe I'd be better off welding up a new frame...
