Wow!!!!! Looks great
It looks like you have the same style of way wipers I have. I bought new rubber strips from W-I. I got 3 feet of it and it was about $35.
Here's a suggestion regarding lubrication. I have one of these little oil guns and it is great for pushing oil into those zerks.

My routine is to put one pump into each zerk, except for the back zerk on the left side of the saddle, which gets two pumps. (It supplies a larger area than the others)

Excellent work and documentation of the process! I enjoyed reading the thread very much. Looking forward to more.
Anyone know what size bolt hole is in the hand wheels?
the holes are larger than 1/4 and smaller the 5/16, seems like Metric 8mm but had an unusal thread pitch. Worst case I can drill them out and tap to a standard size I guess.
Mine aren't threaded at all - the rod is pressed into the wheel. Replacing them is on my to do list as well.
