Novatec D252SB is the fancy one with an aluminium version:
ebike.hu is a solid webshop. Ask via email/help page if the english translation is cryptic
this is the same hub:

The cheap way is this polish webshop that sells the driver in a steel version separately. They only answered my emails (havnt bought anything there yet) when I sent them pre-googletranslated to polish and got polish answers.

That is the driver from the novatec F176SB hub if you want to find it elsewhere.
For the main hub body d042 is good because it is a chunk of metal! and has a 12mm axle and large flanges. You need to pair up the hub + driver with
either28x12or 28x15bearings depending on the hub + shorten the axle somehow.A lot of other novatec hubs could work as well looking at the specs/drawings (but needs to be confirmed...)
The amazing thing is d042 + short freehub & endcap from d252sb gives exactly 120mm! Axle needs to be tapped with more thread or a new shorter custom axle.
