Hub Explosion

Before assembling the new hub, I took a photo of all of the parts (both old and new).  Here's the "new" exploded view.

Finished Hub

It took several weeks and the machine shop found a few errors in my drawings, but the two custom hub parts are complete. Here's a shot of the plain hub body next to the purchased hub. It's huge!

A few days later, they completed the axle and anodized the aluminum body. With the help of a small press to seat the bearings, I had a fully functional 175mm free hub. Action is smooth and everything fits so far.
