Tom: Good on ya for sticking with the Jubilees... NICE TOUCH!!! I believe the original crank had a 42/52 combo. I would think you'd simply need to mount the front derailleur slightly lower on the seat tube (and position it to accommodate the wider distance/range created by the 46/32 combo). Would there be any reason the derailleur cage couldn't handle this extra distance? Can't wait to see this baby...

On some older front derailleurs the inner side of the cage does not come down as far as they do now days. If it doesn't reach low enough that might impact how well it upshifts across the larger (14 vs 10 tooth) change in ring size. Going the other way, I found that a new fd didn't work the way I wanted with a 42/45 setup because with the outer plate set close to the big ring the inner plate ran into the small ring.

[RBW] Re: Brief (largely OT) question
I think BB has it right - the vertical right cage clearance over the bare large ring is clear a penny all the way around, but usually just the front end of the derailleur will be the close end, since the cage arc will have a larger radius than the chainring.
