Alright... so I decided to go all in and bought a NOS Athena/Veloce 8sp hub. These still have the cup and cone design and should have those spare parts. The DS cone is basically impossible to find new, same with the DS Cup. I had to replace the pawls anyway so it made sense to do this in my mind. Particularly as these hubs are quite rare and special
It came with manuals, even the R clip for holding the free hub pawls when installing... simply amazing as it was like a time capsule from 1997
And man... this thing is heavy. It weighs more than a pair of lightweight modern hubs!
