Excellent piece of work!
So its a nut with 6x holes drilled through it, allen bolts fitted and the ends of them turned down until small enough? Its certainly much better than the weak ass fail tool I made (ISIS BB spanner with ends of old drill bits strapped to it).
Glad to hear the bearings were OK, some say that the bearings hope used in the 90s are of higher quality than the bearings they use now.
I have a pair of 1996/7 Ti Glide hubs (not disc compatible unfortunately) that have had 10k+ off road miles put on them (3 sets of rims & spokes!!!!) and all I've had to do in that time was replace ONE freewheel spring and clean/grease the freewheel a few times. Amazing quality.
