Are you sure? The Spaq one doesn't have the recessed groove around the cut out for the stub on the link. The recessed groove allows you to remove the nut on the spindle on the plate side and for the stub to seat in the recessed groove. Soulsurfer's is a scootRS one. You can't remove that thin nut unless you have the recessed groove in the plate. It pulls the hub over by a couple of mm.

I was only looking at the recess where the nut goes.

i had the same problem ended up getting the hub machined down 5mm to get it central
When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !
