8-speed Campy hubs, what have I bought?

Re:

It's not fitting well: see the gap you have between the hub body and the freehub, the rubber seal is exposed too.
If you build the wheel with the hub like that, it's likely to be over its former 130mm OLD width, which means the wheel ends up with a massive difference in spoke tension between the drive side (will be too high in tension) and the non-drive side (those will not have enough tension and most likely will become loose), resulting in a wheel that feels "floppy" when riding in corners.

Ah, you're right. I see now that it's a couple mm too wide. Oh well, back to square one I suppose.
