This amazing thread is absolutely overdue for a bump, and I need some help please. Following this thread and others, I decided to upgrade to the later Carrera axles on my '81SC.
To start, some info from the late, great Grady Clay from post #243:

12 each Schnorr washers M10 999.523.103.01
Please don’t take these P/Ns as gospel; there are supersessions and these might not be the right parts for the conversion. Some research help would be appreciated.

Missing from that list are the washers under the big axle nuts, 928.331.591.02. The older washers standard on the SC will not fit.
In my case I decided to buy new billet transmission axle flanges from CMS, with their spacers since I have an LSD. And while I had everything apart, I installed new wheel bearings. All good there.
HELP: New bearings are done, wheel hubs pressed back in, new transmission flanges installed, and 911.332.024.16 axles procured from our host (rebuilt GKN/Lobro, GKN part 300758.) Except... the axles are too short. Verified with Pelican that I received the correct axles, and that the GKN part numbers are correct for the application. These are not the Turbo axles. Obviously, I'm missing something. All input welcome!
