I've had this problem for many years & mentioned it a few times. Serveta rear hubs, being IMO the best OEM type, often get sourced with no matching cone. Of all the replacements I have obtained, not one has been hard enough. I bought some from Scooter Restorations that fit well (always use grinding paste) but are too soft. I expected better from them with the purchasing power they enjoy, they need to ensure remade components comply to specification ensuring safety of the buyers.
BTW. That hub is still useable if a good cone can be sourced. The splines are purely for location, not drive or support. That is the function of the cone. Good Luck with finding a source of good cones.....
