Set brake plate and was still a little to the brake side so made a washer for the outer nut so now “looks” similar to yours mick (I think) and has put the wheel in the middle. The outer nut measured from inside of flange to outer edge approx 5/16 with spacer it’s now approx 3/8 not sure if this is correct but seems to work

Thanks for the reply, my nut is much longer than 3/8 overall length but interesting that all yours are 5/16 inside flange to outside edge, not sure what the issue can be then ill check the manual.
