just a word or two about the wheel centres, the first one i am making manually but will be transferred to cnc for the production run, they fit nicely have to tap them into place the top is nice and thick so can be tapped out again easily, i have tapped the prototype in and out about ten times with no fracturing or bending of the lugs so well pleased with the material choice it can be anodised or chromed but is fairly resistant to corrosion as well, will post the finished article some time next week if time allows.

1st Time I saw this post. but yes I made same, but use a spring clip design, instead of remaking the lugs.
