I think that was @Scilly.Suffolk rather than me.

Whoops, thought you used that mod a few years back.
In that case, @larsenroad, SPNK/Walker Brothers might also be able to supply bearing seats (although better suited to later HED hub aesthetics):

Absolute steal.
You can bodge the axle using the cones from a cup & cone front axle. Think there's a particular Shimano one that's @mdcc_tester approved and @umop3pisdn tested, which will sit snugly inside a 6001 bearing (12mm ID), and is much cheaper than buying the kit.
I bought the kit because I wanted those machined alu bearing seats, but didn't use anything else, so looking back, it was a bit of a waste of money.
