I had this, used a combination of a shims on axle + drive bolt to get line right. Still not 100% but good enough for action.
Largeflat thin shim on spindle then what i think was a 10mm wheel axle washer as shim between drive bolt + crank arm. gave me spot on chain line + near enough dammit no sprocket wobble on crank arm. Took time tho bro and a lot of washer hunting+ modyfying with crappy file. good luck, you'll get there.

sounds like this is what i will have to do from your explanation

i might even just put a 1 piece in cause im a lazy fooker  :2funny:

no i will give it shot first and when it feels like im about to throw the bike out the window i will put the 1 piece on  :D

cheers

I agree with Brunmie you will normally need a top hat washer. Gets the spacing correct and keeps the power disk central. Axle is 19mm and power disk 22mm. I might have a spare you can have foc

See if the disk rattles about on the axle and let me know if you need it and I will have a look for it :daumenhoch:

right silly me yep defo needed that washer that slips in the disc to stop it moving all over the place  :-[

ive got it down now to a 3-4 mm wobble so i will play about with the shims till i get it spot on or really close

Big thanks for the offer on the top hat washer foc mate  :daumenhoch:

thanks for the advice guys and next time i will check the full contents of the box before installation  ::)  ;)  :daumenhoch:
