Morning Toni,
Thanks for the reply, I not sure what you mean by vanes but my intention is to weld a couple of bands, either of flat steel of 5mm dia bar, around the circumference of the hub to act as anchors. Many years ago I had the job of turning the rubber tyres off of some forklift wheels and when the rubber was removed, it revealed a series of small V grooves machined into the hubs circumference for this exact purpose, I could go down that route, I am not sure yet.
Regard,
Jon
