What are the items called in the pictures
Can someone tell me the names of the items that are in the picture as I might have to replace the rear bearing hub on my car so I want to make a puller using a nut and bolt and something to stop the bolt damaging the back plate.

Hmm, this is a difficult one to answer unless one has 30 minutes to spare. In a past life I was a qualified motor engineer, and I don't think the parts pictured actually had names, only the manufacturer's part numbers.
For a start, the tool pictured is a flywheel puller not a hub puller, Sykes Pickavant (and other companies) manufactured tools for particular motor trade jobs making them multipurpose where possible and available to independent repairers, whereas the tools provided by the vehicle manufacturer to their dealer network were dedicated to a particular vehicle or engine range and a lot more expensive.
I don't know how you intend to recreate the plate, the outer bolts must be the correct thread if you're going into stud holes and the centre bolt can be any thread, it does not have to have the ball bearing in the end. The spacer, bearer, can be anything that does the job (a large nut, a large washer, an old socket from a socket set).
Having said all that, in fifteen years (70-85) I don't think I ever used a dedicated puller, SP generic or manufacturer's special tool to get either a hub or a flywheel off. Tapping with a copper-headed hammer, a hammer and a block of wood, sometimes (rarely) heat from a welding torch got the parts separated.
I *think* that's SP 185101 BMC 'A' Series (original Mini, Morris Minor etc.) have you got the box?
