Anyone have any contacts?

BTW: it's to fit between the c clip and the back bearing of the front axle of the Mad Rat to stop the binding problem when you tighten the wheel nut.... I know a solution is to tighten then "back off" half a turn but I don't like the wobble this results in.... just wanted to try this solution.
i think the problem is more that you need a tube inside the two bearings like a sort of crush tube so when its tightned up the bearings are not pulled together
