having a look round, i think the bit I need is called the "tophat", does this sound right, I skipped class the day they taught cranks!

If this is what its called im gonna ask in the wanted section!

Top hat is the chainring adaptor, you need the crank spindle spacers  :daumenhoch:

What you are missing are the bits to the right of the picture below...

Try the RadBMX shop to see if Stodgy has any in stock  :daumenhoch:

The top hat washer is the middle one and used on the drive side of the arms to secure 20mm chainwheels or spiders, you need the one below it and/or the ones to the right  ;).

Thanks marty,
If the top hat is in the middle of the middle row then I think I need the thing to the left and the thing to the right! I would describe them as "bearing covers"  :)

yeah , the curved bearing cover and maybe a spacer or two  should finish it off nicely  :daumenhoch:
