WOW you guys were busy while I was typing my last post. So lets see.... I have not actually assembled the axle with this part since I cannot get the front wheel ON. It's a struggle just to get it on without an extra almost half inch thick piece.
The washers I bought have to be that wide since the part they would rest on is. Otherwise when I bolt down the front wheel that plastic would just crush. ON a normal bike all the pressure would be on that center brass part. But not on this one. The pressure point is further out.
but it's a mute point now. Next issue will be when my digital one arrives, how in blazes to mount that. But I think that is much more doable than this problem. I'll see what I see when it gets here in oh about a week ish, esk.
BTW just holding everything in place if I were to use it, I'm left with all of about two threads to work with. Even if I got a different bolt that's not enough. I did consider tweaking everything over but dang, getting that disk brake just right.... I really don't want to repeat that. I'll just find another model speedometer.
