Wossa blue locknut then? I've got loads of the stock kit screws and locknuts, didn't realise there was any problem with them other than potential weakness due to the weedy size. I wouldn't have thought an anodised nut would help there at all. It really ought to be a thicker setscrew like the one off a B4 or something IF it is a problem.
More rebuilding tonight and I had crossed my fingers that my kit rear diff was going to be salvagable but only the screw, spacer, spring and thrust bearing could be reused. The diff rings have been badly scored by the balls which have in turn chewed into the pulley and the outdrives have torn into the plastic sideplates too
. I didn't realise a 5.5 brushless could inflict that much damage, especially with a slipper being fitted. On the upside the front diff is like new
