[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 149142, member: 3426"] Well Bill…. always good when someone stops by and points out the obvious. I fear you are correct, which likely means I shouldn’t be playing with machinery. That should provide most of the information. I don’t have enough bits to put together a hub/bearings/axle/drum assembly yet, but the missing pieces are on the way. Once I have that, it all “should“ start to make sense. With those Slater plates, did you use E80 nuts to hold the whole mess together? I’m a little confused over that part. IIRC there isn’t a lot of room for the nuts (on the axles) when using steel plates. The alloy plates will take up more real estate. I have been informed that the Lightning/Flash plates had nuts. So the magnesium alloy axle boss must have been fairy thin. It all has to fit between the fork blades… Could be that I’m missing something else obvious. [/QUOTE]
