I was PM'd, questioning the mod I'd done to the hubs, so here is a picture:



I measured accurately the centres using a digital vernier gauge, then accurately drilled a 2.5mm hole with help of a pedestal drill. I then used a series of M3 taps to cut the thread. Fished off assembly with threadlock on the grubscrew. This mod keeps the lower hinge pins locked to tight the hubs, and allows the pin to move in the plastic wishbone, rather than wear in the hub. it also removes the play of the hub on the hinge pin, which on my new build was a lot.
