what shafts have you used? you could put the washer on the end of the shaft on the other side of the hub

using conversion shafts with 2L inners and outers mate! so what you mean is to like put a washer or 2 on the outer joint then put it into the hub? so washer is on the otherside of the hub?

Yeah like that, have you spaced the gearbox mount at the back or left it?

They can do it so it sometimes I only ever had issues with shaft popping when I just used standard hubs and a spaced gearbox but never had it the other way round

Be carefully with no circlip on it can nock end of shaft off and if it comes too far it might come far enough to dump some box oil

Not sure on that one there could be a chance it will but I personally would washer the other side

no the shaft wont come out, you think its just the thickness of a washer that it moves,
