Eddy, I'm going to document what's involved "here" and this time I''ll also draw up dimensions, add up the time involved and material costs and see if its worthwhile for me and you or anyone else interested to "do extras"

Hey Grant,
Shrink/press fit and pinned

doing the inside counter sinks for the spoke holes is the tricky bit........

Looking good Paul,
So how do you fit this adaptor over machined hub and keep it secure? Screws / retaining bolts or shrink /pressfit?
I think I can see where you are headed here.
Drilling for spokes will aso be an art I think. getting angles right?
Good luck, will watch with interest.

BTW, you still FIFO?  Im finishing my QLD /home oddessey this month, back to Sydney to new role in CBD.

Nearly got my old Beemer going. I have to replace the spokes so I'm going to cheat and do them one at a time.

Step 4
Set the chopped out hub in 4 jaw chuck.
I used the brake disc mounting face and the Bearing housing as dial indicator references to get radial and axial planes to within approx 0.03mm or <0.002" before machining off remains of mag wheel spoke stubs left behind by the 9"donor tool.
Things will probly slow down again now until I can source some billet material and a boring bar.

Step 1
remove wheel from donor bike

Step 2
remove donor hub from donor wheel from donor bike with a 9" hub donor tool

Step 3
Reward yourself for 12 months of FIFO work with one of these hub converting machines

Yeah Steptoe it'll be a combo of new style adaptor and different length spokes as there will still be about 5mm offset compared to about 15 that the first one had, but, the old style adaptor does retain the plastic guard between wheel and diff for that "OEM factory" look. still a long way for this mod to go yet.
