I thought I sent this to the list, but evidently I didn't. so here it is.

Peace,

------------------------

I assume that your axle nut is a castle nut and there is a hole drilled 
through the axle for a cotter key. Might it be possible to drill another 
hole through? I would suspect that it is hardened, but using 
electromachining another hole could be added?

You might also see about obtaining a few other nuts that fit, they might 
have different relationships between the thread and castle locations. Or 
try swapping nuts from axle to axle to see if that makes any difference.

Finally, see if you can find any thinner nuts with the same thread to 
use with a jam plate between  them to lock the nuts in place.


>Any thoughts on how to take up the slack without machining custom spacers?
