Has anyone tried building up the metal like on the 70 hubs by welding? I hear so many people crying how thin the later hubs are. Any ideas on if this would work or not?

Yes they have to be spot faced. But the press in studs have a large flange on the end and I'm confident Mine will not fail. Funnily enough when I took my hubs to me machined I had one late hub and one early hub..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
