if your stuck for a micrometer to measure thickness then let me know and i will post you one,
also gavinlaird is breaking a ss , he may even sell you some shims if he wants to break the axle down,

I got some web sites of diff & gearbos builders to try also, would be a shame to break a good axle as you have to pull off the bearings to get at the shims (just how I mangled mine), I got a mike and thanks for the offer  |
