It fits in the brake side of the hub, the tube goes through it then the bearing and bearing retainer..

Mine was loose in the hub when it came apart too and I couldn’t get it to stay put. I figured it’s purpose was originally a grease retainer and to support the spacer tube centrally to allow the spindle to pick up the spacer on assembly. I left it out as I have sealed bearings and made up a nylon collar that fitted nicely instead, once the spindle is through the middle it is redundant as far as I can see.

Hello
I am preparing my hubs (A10 plunger) to be laced, with new everything, so dismantling the complete internal.
Rear wheel, except dust cover flange I drilled, was no ploblem. L/H stamped on rings, all ok
On front wheel, another story
I am blocked by one bearing ring opposite to the half drum brake, and begin to damage the brass ring. Oil, heat, no way to make it move
My doubt push me to ask if both are L/H? In fact except the gear with a clip, they are all L/H isn't?
I have removed of course the locking pins.
Thanks in advance

Here's a link to the Dragonfly site page for your brake/hub. The associated parts list suggest to me that one side is LH thread, the other RH. Could be wrong, I have a 7" on mine so quite different.

Thanks Julian, that makes perfect sense.  I should have taken better notes/more photos during dis-assembly.

Full width cast hubs are probably the easiest to lace - the spokes are straight and all the same length - they fall into place automatically.
