What are you trying to make? I don't have measurements of the Hed rear hub, but it uses 12mm ID bearings, so the easiest way to make it into a front wheel is a with a 9mm axle and locknuts off a road hub plus some 'cones' to interface the axle thread to the bearing ID. I had a load of cones made for 10mm rear axles, and you could make those with a smaller bore. After that, it's just a matter of putting spacers between the cones and lock nuts to get the OLN dimension and dishing sorted. I have a spare Shimano Sora 9mm hollow axle and lock nuts,as I was going to do it that way and then decided to make the front axle 10mm and step it down to 9mm just for the dropouts
