So tightening the fooking axle screw to below the spec torque and the head pops off - FAARK!  ???  Yes that 12mm allen hex one!
Now that thing is made of cheese - well alu ... and yes I know it does not really keep the axle in place the pinch bolts do that. BUT they say 51 Nm  ???  

Anyway - anyone know of a s/steel replacement? It is identicle to the one on my G450X and I suspect many KTM's as well so this must be a common failure. It is 20mm in diameter.

OH and WTF - Max at Primrose tells me these babies cost R200 each and no stock!!
