I had success by welding a small bead on the end of the axle and grinding or "tuning" it so size allowing a small amount for heat expansion. Ran those axles for years.

We'll have to measure the play on mine since it has c clip eliminators and I have plenty of knockback.

Dorman clips came in today, they measured .159" thick. My old ones were .152" and .153", so definitely thicker. That plus a rosette weld on the axle end should have me good to go here. Going to leave a .010" gap per side, or as close as I can get. That'll eliminate.053" of end play. Along with new rear pads and tighter front hubs should be a more confidence inspiring car.

I rosette welded the axles and got it down to ~.0115" on one side and ~.0135" on the other. I feel like the c clips got rid of more than just the 6 and 7 thou that I measured. We'll have to see how the car feels now at a cheatin' bastard practice session.
