I have a hub that I removed from a wheel last weekend. It had a spindle in it that I needed. I did not look it over closely to assess its condition but I can get photos. I hope to get out to the shop tomorrow. It was in a 30 x3 1/2 wheel. I also have a 21" wheel with its hub. I can take that apart too and check it out. The spokes on that one are no good anyway. Between the two hubs, I should be able to put together a matching set of bolts and nuts. The first hub had mis-matched nuts. Both hubs are filthy but the insides were protected from the elements by the installed spindles. I will get back to you tomorrow.

The hub looks good inside and has good threads. Both flanges are not flat. It looks like bolts were tightened and spokes swelled? My T has wire wheels, not wood, so I don't know if this is normal. I don't know if these can be flattened. Look at the photos and let me know what you think.

I just took apart about 25 wheels. Bent flanges seem to be fairly common.
