[QUOTE="Phil Arundel, post: 100797, member: 3659"] Finally got back to the thread - thanks for all the posts. Vin998 got the thrust of my problem. To clarify I am assembling the front wheel independently of the machine. I have steel brake plates. I mean the hollow spindle which runs through the wheel hub. When I have assembled all the components one of the brake plates binds on the brake drum (finned variety). I need to shim out the brake plate to prevent it from binding on the brake drum.....but there is not enough thread on the hollow spindle left protruding when I have done this to screw on the thin nut. This leads me to believe the hollow spindle is too short. It was mentioned in a post that the spindle should be 6" long......just been to measure and it is 5-7/8" The extra 1/8" would solve my problem. Has anyone got a front wheel hollow spindle 6" long for sale? Thanks again all. Regards, Phil [/QUOTE]
