We had the same problem 2 years ago when the Skyway Hub Adapters came out. What we found is 1)Ditch the nylon spacers!! 2) Make a .125 thick spacer out of aluminum with the Hex hole pattern in it. 3) Use a bolt through the gear aluminum spacer, and adapter, utilizing the nut location on the oppisite side. 4) Use a Nylok style nut and DO NOT USE LOCTITE!! Loctite seemed to react with the plastic, causing it to crack. We are using the Skyway Adapters on this year's machine and haven't had a problem with them in 2 1/2 years. Hope that helps.
