The other issue is that at some point Campagnolo changed their freehub design. I don't know how that affects supporting your bike, but it may be something to consider. Or, if you're using old style freewheels, find a hub that could be upgraded.
They made the splines deeper with the move to 9 cogs in 1997, allowing them to run lighter alloy freehubs without indenting problems like alloy C-Record 8 speed freehubs and aftermarket Shimano. The OP's 2004 parts post-date that by years.
