C washers from Ebikes-Ca pictures replaced

Dogman,
After placing the C washer into the cup, all that remains is finding some normal steel washers (don't need to be keyed) to build up which will fit within the space (the hex adjustment bolt on the pre-load) and then torque it down

Can somebody explain whether a "C" washer will hold this axle in place?

All the C washer is for is to fill the space in some dropouts (especially alloy suspension forks) so that all the washers and torque arms in the stack all sit perfectly flush and perpendicular to the axle. AFAIK the C washers aren't intended to actually secure anything in place.

How complicated to swap out hub axles? My hub axle is under 9.5 mm as it has been stripped , mangled etc. I'm using tape to would add bulk to the axle. Once an axle is worn down, it will slip out of the grasp of the torque arm 10 mm slot. The torque arm doesn't move; rather, the axle gets loose. It can happen again.
The bike is still ridable as I have opted to add tape to the axle. Also, I had to take hammer and vise grips to the torque arm
to get back original form.

A bit late to reply to that question now, but if anybody else has the same problem, pinch dropouts would be the best solution. Here is my version.
