Recently, my rear axle was broken. I purchased a new axle online, which seemed to match the dimensions of my old one.
However, I don't think I've installed it correctly, as there seems to be a gap between the internal lock nut and frame which I don't think should be there (but I'm not sure). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any images online to check how this should look.
I'd appreciate adviseadvice on how to repair this correctly.

I think either:
- I need to insert extra spacers so that the inner lock nut is against the frame
- I need to add another internal lock ring so that the outer lock nut presses against something (in which case, maybe I can remove the spacers altogether?)
- I've installed it correctly
- I need to do something else
