Default Anybody using M3 hardware on Pro knuckles? What flanged washers?

Shortly after getting my billet Losi zero ackerman knuckles and c hubs I drilled and tapped everything for M3 stainless button heads, traxxas rod ends for the steering, and home built brass king pins with stainless 5x3x0.5 shims between the knuckle and c hub. While this is a VERY smooth, sturdy, and responsive setup, the washers don't quite take up the distance between the c hub and knuckle. Leaving a little vertical slop, and is slowly eating my CVD cups and balls.

Are any of you running m3 hardware on these knuckles? If so, what are you using between the c hub and knuckle? I just tried Axial flanged pipe washers, and they don't fit.

Here's my setup as of the last year. Currently under re-construction and being prepped for a Bruder Mog cab, don't make fun of my booty fab...




Yes, it's a 3 link w/panhard and CMS. Well, will be.

I'll get a build thread going here soon. With any luck I may be a star holder and selling some of this stuff soon. It was all supposed to go under a class 1 legal Sami stealth rig, but I lost interest. A wolf in sheep's clothing with the CVDs, zero ack knucks, overdriven front, and beef tubes. All this stuff came outta my last fully built comp rig. Trans and all. It oughta make a mean Mog. Thanks for the compliments BTW!

Mic everything then hit up mcmaster or a robot part site. Once you know the size you need the rest is easy

I'm gonna gave to order some specific M3 shims in the right thickness. I just thought there may be an existing flanged washer that would fit.
