Campagnolo hub spoke question

Hi Guys,
Hit a problem with a wheel build - have a nos Campag 24h record electron hub (looks just like a shamal hub but 24h) and a set of nos Campag 24h Sigma rims - having issues with the spokes - do they need a small plate or something to secure in the rear hub?
Any advise would be appreciated, Dan.

Is this them? Search: "Campagnolo Front Hub Spoke Support". I don't think I'm allowed to post links to sales sites (?).

Campagnolo site is a great resource for this type of thing. Looks like those plates are what you need.

I also remember from my same era Protons needing a narrow 5 mm wrench to fit the recessed spoke nuts.

Great stuff, that looks like the bit thats required - figuring out the exact term to search for is the key - many thanks, Dan.

Just a thought - do any of you know the spoke length for a 24h striaght pull Electron hub to sigma rims... would save a bit of guessing at this end...

They are the ones for the front hub and rear NGS only
Rear GS are different.

I already have the factory hunting for them for the OP ... unless there's another customer looking to do this particular build ...
We have a few of each but not enough for a full build.

It'll be something either side of 290mm.
Easy enough to do the relevant measurements, if you have hub and rim?

Only is you are building on the original rims.
Senator 5mm nut spinner (from Cromwell Tools, in the UK) is actually small enough to go through the rim drillings.
The corresponding 5.5 is a tight but OK fit for older-design Bora and Neutron Ultra ...

A quick search for the front spacer took to me to a very well stocked site, looked through their campag hub fittings and they had the rear cassette side bell fittings required and in stock - ordered and on way.
