I also have a couple of Spanish rear hubs, fecked IMO but could they be used? One has shredded splines and the other had the stud holes drilled and M10 bolts loosley fitted :?

All free to a good home for the cost of the postage, I just don't like throwing stuff away :)

Mike, that second rim could be used for a layshaft pulling in tool. You know, where you weld two bits of steel to the edge of the rim, to hold the hub while you tighten it and pull the layhsaft in tight. That's what I did with some shitty Injun rims I had.

Weld 2 lengths of box section onto the rims, to form a triangle and you'll have a very handy rear hub holder/stand when you want to undo or torque up the hub.

I did this and then noticed that they were original Innocenti rims!
