Custom Fabricated Hubs?

Do you hate changing your front bearings? Hate spending an hour grinding out the notch to tap them out? well how would you like it if you can buy a new hub that is pre-notched for new races? I have a friend that has a CNC machine that could make some Air craft aluminum hubs that have the notches all ready there. I want to see how many of you would like to buy these if they where available.

Bearings last what, 100K or so when properly maintained?

To grind a notch takes 5 minutes with a Dremel and carbide bit. Or you can avoid griding a notch and just run a weld bead along the inner side of the old race (if you have a welder available).
