Any others?
I expect some of the Chinese shops would do 12H to order. Bear in mind that the Shamal 12s and Corima 12H use heavy spokes, and you'll want to as well unless you're very light. Presumably the hub is already keyholed for Sapim CX or DT New Aero 3mm wide spokes.
In general, I'd suggest that it's not worth trying to shoehorn this hub into a wheel unless you really know exactly what you're doing, there's a reason why very few wheels are under 16H, and those which are are factory built with rims and spokes specifically selected for the purpose.

Speaking of odd drillings, I wonder if anyone knows how to get hold of a 12-hole rim? I have a 12h Royce hub and a 24h rim, which presumably would work fine, but I'm curious as to whether 12h rims even exist. I found a Corima carbon one but it costs way too much for me; Campagnolo did a 12h Shamal in the 90's but I've never seen unbuilt rims available. Any others?
