New Cheap ones do pop up on eBay from the cheaper parts companies. As long as it’s the right type as in if you have rear discs you get a rear disc type hub.

The rear hubs themselves are the same whether it’s disc or drum brakes.

Still haven't found hubs though! Don't know why fag or skf or febi don't make these they make the front hub.

The front hub is consumable though where as the rear isn’t really. I have a set of drum rear arms here which have the hubs in them if you’re interested.
