Help finding Campag freehub

The overhaul of my Campag Nucleon wheel hubs has gone swimmingly except that the inner bearing on the freehub body is shot and Campag do not consider the freehub body to be serviceable. I think it would be possible, but fiddly, to take the freehub body apart and replace the bearings (it looks like the bearings have to be tapped out) but before I do that I'd like to try to find a replacement freehub body. Unfortunately, the wheels date from 2001 and Campag don't seem to make spares any longer. If anyone can help me with one of these solutions below, there's a pint in it for you.

- Find a source of new or NOS of the freehub body FH-RE415 or FH-CH215 (freehub body for Campag oversize aluminium axle late 90s to ~2006)

- Find a source of NOS Record hubs from the same period at a reasonable price ie £60 - £70

If I can't find the parts, I'll have a go at replacing the bearings in the freehub - that'll be worth selling tickets for.

I'm a bit annoyed with Campag for not making spares for expensive wheelsets thrt they stopped selling new only 6 or 7 years ago. Apart from the freehub, the wheels are lovely and would cost several hundred squids to replace with new equivalents.

Thanks for the input guys.

Geoff: Thanks - good scheme, but I can't see anything that helps. There is a lot on ebay worldwide but unfortunately nothing that seems to be what's needed. There is one rear Record hub of the right vintage in USA for over £200 and one Nucleon rear hub in Germany for £110, both used. Since there's no way of telling how used they are then there's no point spending that kind of wonga.

Mark: will call John next week, thanks.
