Greetings to all! I must say that I am enjoying my journey on making this warrior trike.
I have acquired a pair of front tires. No freewheel bearings on either.
The hubs are 14mm. I have found a picture of the adaptor that someone else made for their supports, using a 1/2 black pipe.
But have been unable to find the directions on the hub adaptor that he is using.
Any help, or ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It's easier to just buy a hardened 1/2in bolt (aircraft grade, or grade 8). Most hardware stores and some auto stores carry these. You may be able to find an actual 14mm, but they are harder to find in the US.

Need some advice, this appears as the best place for it!!
I have purchased a set of Avid mechanical disc brakes.
I have a set of 20 inch wheels that have 14mm hubs. I'd like to put the disc brake
hubs on the wheels.
What is suggested? Purchasing the hubs new?
Or making a set as described in the forum here? I have the ability, and the resources
for using a milling machine, welder, etc.
Only thing is, I would need some measurements of that particular type of hub to
duplicate.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Much appreciated.
I'm making good progress, and have just completed my seat for the warrior.
More welding tomorrow.

if you read the thread
disc brakes & hub adaptors
you will see that i am makiing some flanges & adaptors with rotor holes laser cut into them.
These have a 16mm centre hole for fitting onto a Sidchrome extension shaft, but you can soon build up your bolts for a snug fit
