One of my main wheel retaining nuts fits perfectly with its retaining pin holes. However, the other side is ever so slightly off on the shy side leaving just a tiny bit of wiggle. Advancing to the next hole is too tight and blocks enough of the axle hole to not allow the pin through.
Some say that a tiny bit of slop is okay but I would like to have it dialed in.
I know I can drill new holes 90 degrees off the current holes, but that counting turns process is still kind of imprecise.
What I'd like to try is putting a shim between the nut and the bearing face. Something like a modified retaining ring or thin washer(s).
I was wondering if anyone else may have had the same idea and discovered a source for the right size of shim?
