yeah, he accidentally cut the hub lip off, and now needs it back. Other way around it would be simple yes, just hogging off the material in a lathe.

no worries, sinus stuff does fuck with your mind.

that could be done, still likely not cost effective vs just buying new ones but a better way to approach it than machining new HC’s from the material that’s left.
