Personally, I wouldn't **** around with it too much. You could probably ebay it for $50 even with the piece missing.
I paid $50 for the wheelset, so I guess I could easily make my money back. Good idea.

Stainless steel sleeve, as close as you can get to the inner diameter of the bearing. Worse comes to worse, you could drill the threads out of a chainring bolt and slide it on down. Use a two small nuts to hold the race in position. Or epoxy/loctite. Washer to cover that mess up and regular locknuts on top.
Discuss.
I'm on top of ghetto rigging. Just giving some time to find the correct part or a complete solution first. Thanks though.
