The hub-faces are exactly there the wheels are pointing and are as good a reference place to take alignment, camber and caster as the tyre (sorry, tire). arguably better.

I've spoken to a race-buddy who owns a fabrication shop and we might just make our own - I;ve got some bits to trade for his car and he's going to price-up the material (CNC time will be "at marginal cost").

It is worth it to me because getting down onto the garage creeper and up again a dozen or more times in an hour plays merry h3ll with my back.
