Subject: [CR] Hub recommendations for 1949 "Bates"


Hi, I'm after some recommendations for period correct hubs for my 1949 "Bates of London" Vegrandis model. The front fork spacing is 90mm and the rear spacing is 110mm.

Most of the front hubs I have are too wide, although I do have a Brampton hub which will fit, shown here http://www.flickr.com/photos/38107000@N03/sets/72157623387468654/ but I'm lacking one silver cone for that axle and black cones look and are "wrong" for that hub.

Suggestion appreciated,
thanks,
