A few other questions,

How do I restore shine to the non-painted small metal parts (e.g. angle bolts, reflector screws, visor screws) and remove the rust from the original bracket arms? I've already bought new mounting bolts, wing nuts, washers, etc.

Any update on the restoration?

At last! It's 99% complete! All I need to do now is to apply a new G+W label on the side, fit a base & a carry handle, wire it up to a 240v flex and switch it on!

The signal before & after restoration.

Inside the signal. It was better to install bulb holders salvaged from an earlier 300mm Aldridge lantern rather than using a soldering iron to replace the frayed wiring.

Great job on the restoration!!

Now you just need a sequencer in it....Lights To Go http://www.trafficlights.com/T2ad.htm makes them for pedestrian signals [although I'd check to make sure the sequencer is able to work on your voltage over there].
