14:7 track hub
I have a Campagnolo Zonda G3 wheelset sitting gathering dust, as the rear hub is buggered... I'd hate to throw the nice rims out, though, so I was wondering if there is a company making 14:7h track hubs that I could use to rebuild the wheel in FG configuration.
Perhaps I could just go ahead and use a 28 hole hub, but I'd prefer to use a more elegant solution.
Oh, and anyone who tried a build like this?

I'd like to know this, too. I'm using a G3 Vento on the front and have the rear hanging in my shop. I'd like to pair it up on my FG but doubt I can find a hub.

I've seen custom drilled Miche hubs from the factory.
Also seen a Miche 28H hub with the NDS flange machined down to low flange specs and re-drilled to 7 hole. Piccolo/Grande 2to1

Dumb question :
Isn't the whole point of 14:7 lacing to achieve equal spoken tension on heavily dished cassette hubs? Wouldn't 14:7 on a track hub with a center dished rim end up with high tension on the 7 side?
