norman2cycle there is a fix you can do to take play out of the rear hub carriers without buying alumn. drill out the rear hub carrier at each side of the hub carrier and screw in a grub screw to the hinge pin, that then presses the hub carrier tight against the insert and takes away all the play. the play actually developes in the hub carrier and not the insert but this will fix you right up for cheap.
Hi Rocket42

Noticed you & tex1 are both innovative & helpful guys. It would be great if you guys could post pics to show what you suggested as 'a pic paints a thousand words'. You know something are hard to explain in words or from words it is hard to visualize.

Hope to change my signature to 'Fast driver lives longer' soon, with tips from you great guys.
