One more thing: from the lack of a spigot on the end of the hubs it looks like you're planning to make this a bolt on hub with an internal threading on the cups (rather than QR). My Paul hubs are like this and use stainless M8 socket cap allen bolts. Because dropouts are 9 or 10mm in diameter you need something like the Phil Wood Chrome Dome to sleeve the bolt and increase its diamter up to 9 or 10mm where it goes through the dropout. The annoying problem that I have is that the sleeve part of the Chrome Dome equivalents for my rear hub aren't long enough to go through a chain tug and into the dropout, which leaves me with +/-1mm of slop when locating the hub in the rear dropout. If you can make something like the Chrome Dome with a longer sleeve it would solve this and I would buy them from you!
