Thank you to all I’ll get a shim made to take up the gap leaving enough to put the felt washer in. Dan.

I'll take a look today. I think the other thing we were trying to point out is that it is really not a wear gap - there is no metal to metal contact on this section of the axle. The gap is supposed to be there (was there from the factory) - it wasn't caused by usage or abuse . . .
