Where can I get cones to fit a Shimano 475 hub? Is this lot from Halfords compatible (and the corresponding rear set)?

Am I able to fit cones from a better Shimano hub?

Thanks in advance

    I'd just buy like for like hub and replace what I could

    Look out for a cheap hub, or there is a chap buys hubs and sells the parts on ebay.

    I bought a cheap 475 front hub off ebay to rebuild mine, got back 1/3 of what I'd paid for it just selling on the new QR skewer!

    Be careful as the M475 front hub uses M10 cones (note how the axle is turned down to 9mm at the ends?) not the 9mm that the Shimano road hubs use, so that one won't fit!

    You can use parts from other hubs, look at the parts break downs on the shimano techdocs website.
