Having fun removing metalastic bushes...

Paul, At the off side I dont see any welding marks, the drum side however looks to be swaged on to the tube.
Punch marks are mine for reference.
Best bet will be to remove the off side I think.
Thinking about the needed tooling now..

I have this email address via Klaus : anna.cingrosova@seznam.cz.
She -they- make seats with these kind of elastics.
They are on Ebay.. somewhere...

John, yes , I am going to turn something up on the lathe. something thick in two parts to clamp it around the tube.
And then…..I'll see !

Hmmm, lethal stuff, not much imagination needed to know what happens when you look back before overtaking or so...

Tele front hubs are pressed together so perhaps these also ?
The tube part on a tele front hub is stepped to give a ridge where the drum stops against.
Once the spokes are tensioned there's no where to go for the flanges I would guess.
I wil mark the parts before I take them apart .

Hi Lee, no not for sale, I have the 3 bolt brakedrum and the 5 bolt hub.
Question was if it is possible to take of one of the spoke flanges.

Is it possible to take a QD hub apart ? Are the flanges pressed on to the centre tube or are they fixed by welding ? I cant see any trace of (spot)welding so I think they are pressed together.

Very nice ! well done.

Yes ofcourse ! I could have known that, Nacelle lower bolt.
Hmmm I need two… and the rest of the bike
