Subject: [CR]Harden hub tech question.

I've recently taken delivery of a pair of Harden 'Bacon Slicer' hubs with a caged bearing.

Whilst servicing prior to a wheel build I noted that the alloy oil seal discs (disks) as described in http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/harden-servicing.html were absent.

This probably explains why I have been unable to tighten the alloy locknuts sufficiently to remove a small amount of sideways slop from the hub.

Can anybody describe or provide a picture of what these seal discs look like?

I 'll ideally be looking for originals, but expect that I'll probably have to have seals made up to fit.

I believe the hubs were previously used on a Track bike with grease lubrication, hence the oil seal absence.

Also missing from both hubs is the Techlamit grease nipple, does anyone have a part number or a size which I might be able to quote in my search for these?
