the concept is sound. i think that someone on the forum did this with IRO hubs. it seems like a great idea, and i think you should go for it and let us know the result.
actually, i think i have some info about this; i saw a picture of a novatec hub (black) that had the smae cut-outs and shell as the nashbar hubs, so i did a little digging, and it looks like novatec and formula hubs are made by the same taiwanese company.
this was all pieced together from catalog listings and posts to various forums, so i can't prove anything though
