This is beautiful restoration work, and clever too.
I can spot tape used where it would be so easy to substitute a cable tie. There are modern hose clips painted black so they don't catch the eye. There are fabric covered ignition wires which I bet have modern cores. Finally, tucked away in the bottom where it is out of sight I think I can see a thoroughly modern alternator instead of a dynamo
Love it!
