Okay, I did some sleuthing around, and...

It looks like Moulton makes, or at one point made, a 70mm O.L.D. front hub. This website claims to sell them, though I cannot vouch for the website. I also found an auction on eBay Ireland for a Hope Mini front hub, but I couldn't find any reference to such a thing on the Hope website. Sheldon Brown's website also suggests that there were a couple folding bike makers using 70mm O.L.D. front hubs. If you can find any of those, you can probably fudge the 1mm difference.

That's all I have for you, though.
