Following the debate about what actually secures the hub and is it just down to the cone and correct torque. This hubs been at the back of my garage cos I thought it was paggered.....
Can I, would you use this ????

would you use this ????

If that was 'all' that was wrong, the conical surface & proper, hard cone were well matched via lapping in, then I would give it a go.

I can take no responsibility for your decision, actions or competence so don’t come running to me if you fall off & break both legs!

I strongly recommend that you torque it up, & fix the locking plate & run it a few miles cautiously as it is an old hub in any case.

Then I would remove it just to test that the ‘fit’ had been maintained & carefully examine every aspect of it.

If all seemed well, I would then re-fit it & run it.

It was off a 62 Spanish S2 that I restored, I was fascinated by the debate around cone fit and torque. Instead of throwing it away I'll keep it as a spare.

Of course I won't come back to you WT, but I am pleased you commented - ta
