Summat's up there all right. Have you measured the Rossini discs to make sure they are exactly the same size as standard discs? Both depth of the central part and disc thickness. |

Thanks Mike. I got rid of the old discs ages ago. Can someone tell me what the dimensions should be? |

If the felt is on the inside and was too think I would expect the hub to sit further out which would explain the pin missing the nut but surely the disc would be too far out, and in your picture it looks too far in. The stubs are pressed in and from my experience they are tight.. |

Mike the latest photos are with the felt removed. If the felt is in the disc sits too far out and clashes with the calliper. If the felt is out the disc sits nicely in the calliper but the split pin only just catches the castle nut. |

On an upright and stub assembly I have here, the stub pokes through the upright approx 20.7mm and I have about 3 threads outside of the nut. Maybe looking at that first may bring other things into line? Tony |

I think this is a red herring, the OP has shown he's fitted a new nut to the stub axle, which is thicker than the original, which was a one off thin design that is very hard to get now.Tony Steve |

Yes maybe, thats why I included the total length of the stub poking out Tony |

yes the stub looks the same as i measured earlier so that looks fine. It may be worth putting the felt between 2 plates and squashing it in a vice or press to see if it gives a bit more room.Yes great forum this one Tony |
