Good stuff Dwyer--- Trev Richards has built a model and I will get one of his soon. I suggested he bore it out to fit the F&P shaft and mill a keyway in it --that way we can adapt it to different shafts -He also is milling the spline into his hub.

I,ve found the plastic hub internal spline is getting a bit "tired" after I've placed and removed it many times--this should not be a problem with your guys metal hubs.
My Neo conversion hub is finished ,but I'm still a bit concerned about the "Humming" noise that it's putting out --but seems to lessen at higher rpm -we'll see.

Very nice work D . wonder,are you going to insert a steel band on the inside of the rim??

Helps when placing the mags-they stick nicely .
