It should be possible to make a new indexing ring for the hub with slots 
in the right places. One day I might even have a go. I think I have one 
16 secrtor hub, but as luck would have it, it's an alignment disk, so I 
am not going to modify it.

Be warned if you try this (or if you remove the disk from the hub for any 
other reason), you'll need a DTI to get it centred again.
