[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 150092, member: 597"] My experience with wheel hubs is that there are variences with the spoke flanges and the drum casting wall thicknesses........You should be able to build up the complete hub including the drums, flanges, the alloy hub all the bolts and nuts fully and then install the spokes through the flanges to assemble the rim........Always start witha good inspection of the bearing pockets........loose bearings can be secured with green loctite, but if any side play is detected, the hub should be replaced........On complete restorations it is very common for me to simply replace both front and rear hubs with new ones, this is far more cost effective than hoping a cheaper repair will last.
