This is what I did. Dont use the cup spacer. Tighten the nuts up until they just hit the spring spacers. Install cotter pins. May seem to loose , but my experience, such that it is, led me to believe this was the correct way. My 30 coupe seems to like it. First time I tried it the nuts tightened up but went above cotter pin holes. Ordered new nut, same results, put two washers under nuts, seemed to work, but just didnt seem correct. More research led me to the installation I just described. IMHO
