This post is for Josh. We are trying to work out a thrust kit issue. Can't seem to post pic's in PM's.

There seems to be a few new axles on the market that have running changes that I have yet to identify. I have to rely more on the customer to know what they have so that I can properly sell a thrust kit that fits. It's like buying shoes. You can not just walk in and say: I need new shoes. The next question is always: what size? If you don't know, you have to measure. To make matters more complicated, some axles are showing up with 4mm studs vs the old 8-32. They are very difficult to tell apart until you try to thread a nut on! What's worse is these studs are often aluminum. Cross thread that and you ruin the axle. So words of caution here: pay attention and proceed gently and you will be rewarded.

Josh; send me this dimension (wheel off is easiest) and I will get your Top WGT axle thrust kit put together and make sure that you get some of the new 4mm nuts.
