campagnolo chorus 9 speed era hubs freehub body swap?

[pavel]

I think I need to swap the freehub body on my 9 speed era chorus hub. It's the one that uses the older 9speed lockring threads. What is out there? Is it a common part, or interchangeable with later 2000s campagnolo fhbs?

So it has a steel axle?

Made in 1997/8 only and the FH bodies are very scarce..like almost impossible to find. 1998/9 went to an oversized aluminum axle, not compatible..lower bearing toasted?

EuroAsia has them, a distributor..Vecchio's can get it..not cheap...about $130.

Keep an eye out for the bell bodied later Mirage hubs as donors for the FHB.
