Rear hub woes. 3 bolt.

My hubs are at the "wheel guys" having new stainless rims and spokes fitted.

He rang today and said I will need to replace the rear hub, due to the nuts having been run loose at some stage and damaged the holes.

Thoughts ?.

Loose nuts eh Josh ? A bit like your avatar then.

That hub looks reclaimable, it's really a question of how expensive and available good second-hand hubs are in your part of the world compared with how many crates of beer you have to bung someone at a local engineering firm to either weld and re-machine or perhaps bore and fit inserts.

It would be easier to find an old one in good condition, cheaper to find one in Australia too. If you have friends with a lathe and a welder, it could be fixed really cheaply.
