Hate to ask a dumb question, but why are you replacing the hub casting? if it's a matter of a stripped-out lug the common fix for this is to simply drill the threads out and press/draw in a splined lug to replace it. I have a hub on my 109 that has had 2 lugs done that way and I've had no problems with it.
As previously stated the thread-in lug hubs are no longer available, but a used one could no doubt be sourced. There is very little that can go wrong with a hub to render the casting unfit for service.

What studs did you use? That might be a lot easier. Cause if I do get the new hubs I'm going to have to get someone to swap bearings over as bearings I have at the min are perfect.
you could press in new studs and save the price of a hub, or you could use this with new thread studs.

New hubs are not that expensive £19+ each. Really don't mind paying that if its going to fix it good. My only problem is swapping bearings. The bearings in at the min are perfect.
Has anyone ever removed and refitted the same bearings before? There is an engineering company near me with a couple of 40t presses, so thinking bring it all around to them.

yes is quite simple either press race out or drift out using brass or copper punch not steel ,ensure races stay with the same rollers

OK, studs I used were externally threaded to take the same double-ended lug nuts and had a splined inner end to be pressed in place.
i don't consider this a bodge - the splined lug is a better item than the threaded in my opinion.
if you order hubs (19 quid is not that bad) just make sure that you get the ones with the smaller lugs and not the great whacking Series III things.

Grr. Rang today to see if my hubs where in since ordered them on Monday. And they weren't so they rang their suppliers to be told they didn't have them but didn't think to mention that when they ordered them.
I'm thinking will s3 hubs with push in studs fit a s2a? I might be easier trying to get those.
