I am having trouble with the single fork mod on my 64 PA30. The wheel spacers are different and the axle nut does not seem to fit against the bearing properly. Does anyone have the length of the spacer required or an idea how to fix the axle nut issue?
Thanks!

Skip,
Give Phil a call a Webco and ask him. He might have that measurement right on the top of his head. The criticle dimension is the spacer between the fork and the wheel so that the disk clears the fork. Once you have that dimension, then you can do whatever you need to do to add spacers (shims) to the outboard side of the axle so that the axle nut seats properly in the range it can be pinned.
