In the very early days simplex used bicycle wheels. I don't know about the hub diameter, but I would bet it was just a bike hub. Please post a picture so we can see it.
BTW, if you need a latter front hub, let me know. I have at least one extra from a front brake conversion I did.

Rick thanks for the offer but I have both hubs. Doesn't look like a bike rim, it is 2 3/8 wide Dim is 23 3/8 hub is 2 3/8 od and bearing cup is missing but looks to be same size as a newer one. I'll post some pictures after I learn more ,sorry !! thanks Hank
