I did this by mistake when the wheel was off the bike. It allows the wheel to slop on the spindle so it would be bouncing between the brake pads. If you don’t note the orientation before disassembly it looks more logical to to have the nut end outboard. Thankfully advice on here put me right.

I still maintain it's possibly a 550F spindle

Look at this blow up .. you can see the tommy bar hole inside the hollow end  ;)

According to the CMS parts book Ash the 500 and the 550 both use the 750 front spindle, 300 middle part number.

For a minute there I was thinking you were saying the 500 was a solid bar with the 550 being hollow, couldn't remember if that was true or not so looked it up.

This is according to 550F2 parts book you provided for me to scan Ken.

Yeah, I looked at the F1 book Ash, TBH I didn't expect the F2 to be different but it clearly is.

You could be right as the F2 spindle should be the same as the K3 spindle and that has that odd looking end on it. Still fitted wrong though and needs to be corrected asap.
