I seem to be stuck, or at least going in circles. I am unable to become a Person of Some Importance. I can't get the velocipede in the Side Streets because I need Strong Backed Labour but I can't get to the Foreign Office or Wilmot's End. I'm also unable to join the Dilum Club without this status. All of my stats are well over 100 even without accessories/clothes on. The only things I seem to be able to do currently are keep catching hyena in the Labyrinth to breed to no avail, Investigating the Big Rat and the Box of Intrigue (I'm at 40 for that).
Currently I am at:
Banished from the Court/A Name Signed With a Flourish 7
A Name Whispered in the Dark 5
Featuring in the Tales of the University 40
Making Progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 16
Ambition Light Fingers 51 (Need to get the South Archipelago)
Any help or guidance would be wonderful. If you need more info, just ask and I can look.

You can buy strong backed labour in the clay quarters from lady bones road, or in the bazaar side streets (but i'm not sure if thats available for you yet)

You may wish to Visit the Workshops of the Great Downward Engineering Company. I believe there is someone there who may help you for a price.

The clay quarters are definetly the best place to get your hands on some strong-backed labour. They're accessible through the "Life on Ladybones road" category in, you guessed it, Ladybones road.
Becoming a PoSI requires some fairly expensive equipment, but I don't think that's going to be a problem, as you seem to be fairly far in.

To cut through the confusion on this thread - you have access to the shops on the Bazaar Side-Streets. One of them sells Strong-Backed Labour. You can also get Strong-Backed Labour in the Clay Quarters on Ladybones Road for slightly cheaper. You will have access to Wilmot's End if you draw the right card.
