If i find it you can have it. The pawls are brand new. I will keep in touch. Got a few boxes to go through. I will let you know if i find it.

Could you not find an old used spoked Suntour cassette hub and strip it down for the cassette and pawls??
Worth a suggestion :daumenhoch:

That would work I think, it looks identical to the spoked one bof put up, not 100% sure if its suntour on mine, I shall take another look and see if it is

I have got a temporary solution, I have bought a spare wheel from a lad on ebay, messaged him back and forth and asked for pics, and ended up having some good chats about bmxs and he even dropped the price for me so I can fix my bike, this is what I bought. I am going to rebuild this hub into my wheel, and just run a freewheel for now. It might even end up a permanent solution, don't see why not

seems a shame to have to drill your rivets out.
if you do, maker sure you drill the right end, or you'll risk cracking the wheels.
Drill the heads of the rivet, not the bit that is pressed (riveted) over, reason being, when they stamp the rivets over, not only does the metal form the new `head' the shaft in the wheel thickens a bit, so needs to take the shortest route.
you should be able to see which head to drill, they look a bit neater.
