Campagnolo hubs that will accept a 9 speed cassettes
What Campagnolo hubs will take 9 speed cassette? I'm looking for a silver 32 hole low flange. I can find Chorus 8 speed hubs at reasonable prices. Will these take 9 speed cassettes?

Any Campy hub that takes 8 Speed cassettes can also take 9 or 10 speed.

^^That's correct. Campagnolo produced hubs that were compatible with 6-, 7- and 8-speed cassettes. With introduction of 9-speed (1998) they introdeced new free hub body with different spline.
From what I recall early 9-speed freehubs would accept only Chorus and Record cassettes (earliest generation of the 9-speed groupset).
Later Veloce, Mirage and 9-speed hubs and younger Daytona, Athena and Centaur 10-speed hubs would accept standard Campagnolo 9-speed cassettes. I'm not sure when exactly Chorus and Record freehubs were standarized.
If you have 9 speed Campagnolo cassette just go with hubs from the same groupset. Chorus hub sets are relatively easy to find, but you pay extra because it's Campagnolo. Record hubs are harder to find and usually are really pricey.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your build!

The early that appears much like Shimano/SRAM and the EXA that appears more like the later form factor.
How did I learn this?
Bought a NOS 8 speed Record ti cassette and… well look at that, won't fit.
So, bought a lone Record EXA 8 speed hub.
I have a suspicion that the later 9/10/11 hubs have a longer cog body.
Now I have training and "race" wheels for that bike.
Actually, parade, coffee house run wheels, racing days are over.
The Masters in SoCal have had a known rep to be on PED's, well enough of them that I'm not going to bother until testing is pervasive.

Banned.
No. You need a 9-10s freehub (or 11). 8s Campagnolo hubs will NOT take a 9-10s cassette. Most 9s hubs will take up to an 11s cassette.
