A little turning job this morning made the rear hub centres to mimic the half shaft flanges.

Turned a brass disc, dished with a form tool, and tapped M3. Bonded a grub screw in place and used it as a bolt to secure the wheel hub in place.

When all is painted up think this will look pretty accurate.

Made a start on the front wheel hubs, I want to try and replicate the centre boss of the bearing carrier.

I'm turning a brass disc then milling and shaping it to look the way I want.

I will make the bearing dust cap from steel with a threaded bolt to retain the kit hubs on the bearing shaft.
