I've bodged it for now -- by stretching a piece of model aircraft fuel
hose over the HP hub. It works... mostly. The wheel is now a little
oversize, and there obviously isn't a taper. I might try attacking it
with the lathe tomorrow night...

Try measuring the thread on the defective one. I am
pretty sure it should
be 6-32 UNC if it's the original part. If it is that thread, then the
problem is elsewhere.
It's a completely different part. The HP one has a hex nut head, this
one has a knurled round head, a smaller diameter screw thread and is
much shorter.
It's a
polyurethane tyre; the hub is 6/10 nylon with eight teeth around
its radius.
OK. I tend to use 'rubber' generically to mean 'elastomer' for things
like this. I know it's incorrect.
Is trhe hub straight or tapered?
