RE: Rear Discs installed- Mk1

Yep, glad I'm not the only one that found this out, was starting to think
Mars was just a little weird.
You're right though, that axle wasn't going back on the car without either
the washers or a BFH.
Delrin, Hmm.... I thought about it but didn't have the extra $$ for them.
How do you like them so far?

	I just ran into this same problem a couple of days ago.  I even
called BSI
	where i bought my Delrin bushings and asked about it.  He said he'd
never
	had to use washers.  Well he must be a magician then, 'cause without
an
	extra washer on each side, that axle was not going back on the car.
My kit
	didn't even come with washers,  I had to snag the extra flat washers
from my
	old axle.  i love the little things they don't tell you about.
