Hi Dan I have fibreglass legs and my axle stubs bolt directly to the legs. Therefore the shims may squash into (wear into) the leg so I put flox behind the axle to give a better mating surface. If I was bolting metal to metal I would not waste my time with flox (the automotive industry has been shimming wheel alignments for decades with great success :-)

I know it makes a nice full shim, but it runs all over the place while it is curing. I thought I had just dreamed this up and was the only one doing it. Do you know if this is an accepted method, and what the flox contributes to the process? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2009 - KR Gathering in Mt.
