Ive now installed two neodymium magnets on the stator near the non-drive side bearing.

It was the only location I found that was far enough away from any of the steel parts. Its a little bit close to the overdrive end of the slot but the magnetism is weak on the sides of the magnet and a nail placed in the slot doesn't get attracted. The curved slots they are fitted into are just under 4mm wide and after drilling them out the magnets were a nice tight push fit.
I don't want to keep opening the hub too much so it will be a while until I see what they've collected. Unless something happens it will be at 2000 miles when I do the next inspection of the bushings. I'm currently at 1200 miles and the weathers not helping to increase that.
