For the sake of 50 quid for a new 'un, why use a worn one?

Get rid.
Iv`e lost 2 rear hubs and I wouldn`t reccomend it to anyone.
You should check your layshaft splines too because if they look the same as this hub, you`ll knacker the new one simply by normal fitting.

Completely agree, that looks about 90% worn thru, £40 at restos, and definitely check the layshaft

ive had a couple of mates have real nasty accidents this year regarding rear hubs/layshafts going Bang, just change it mate, its only a few quid, and cheaper than a new paint job/helmet/ underpants etc.

Deffo a SIL replacement from scooter restorations if it's a standard hub.By that I mean not a luna or J range hub,as I dunna know what they look like inside or from the picture,cause I've never had one.
