sorry guys, hopefully they will sort it out quick for you, sounds like someone who has worked there in the past may have swiped the axle!

Ive yet to have to return an order from them.  I did once order a frame they were showing as in stock to be emailed and refunded later telling me it was not in stock.  Everything else has been perfect
Same here they've always got my stuff spot on :daumenhoch:

Mine arrived yesterday as well all good I got a chrome set well nearly.

They sent me a hop up kit instead of a bottom bracket kit/set same as this one

http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/52049/Profile_HopUp_Kit_Ex_Display

I just rang them and they said the kit above is missing the axle spacer tube otherwise it's the same as the bottom bracket kit below

http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/24110/Profile_USA_Bottom_Bracket_Kit

Is this right   :-\

He also said I mght need to use a smaller spacer washer to add to the tube make sure it is flush against the cups inside the BB, I thought american BB's where all the same dimensions   :-\

The hop-up kits a bit nicer than the standard BB set - you get flush bolts and them nice machined external spacers. US BB's widths vary from frame to frame, so yeah, you might need to use one of the thin spacers to make sure the axle spacer touches both bearings.

Someone scanned the Profile install guide over at the museum - you need the non-drive side cup to 'stick out' a couple of mm:

Cheers Danny, couldn't find instructions on the profile site for american BB installation.

This kit didn't come with any bolts though  :-\

That's a pain (and typical of old W@nkstanleys) - this is what you should get in a hop-up kit:
