Does anyone know where to source lock tabs to suit the Puma stub axles, I plan to remove the spacer between the bearings and install 2 nuts and a lock tab to each wheel bearing set. Is there a model with the same flat on the stub axle so the tab is a direct fit? I remember there were a few different shapes, one with a keyway, one with a small flat, these have quite a large flat on them. I may need nuts as well, I'm sure I have several floating around but they may be earlier imperial thread.

I had the last in a series of parcels from Ashcrofts arrive today- I've already fitted the rear axles and flanges, now I have on the bench, ready to go in the front axle, an Ashcroft locker and pegging kit, axles, CVs and drive flanges.
I'm unlucky enough to already have an ARB air-locker in the rear. It is going to have to come out for the third time this year to try and fix an air leak, it lasted 2 days this time. Very tempting to put it on eBay and get an Ashcroft locker for the rear as well.

Pod, I still have the puma nuts, but recall thinking when swapping my P38 stubs onto Sals I put in the rear; the two locking nuts off the Sal and the spacer and locking plates would fit straight onto a puma. My replacement Sals is a 94. The flat keyway was wide on both.
