There is a spacer and washer that are installed to correctly position and tension the 12mm bolt. An axle with the older 8mm hole in the end can be adapted to the newer 12mm bolt -- there's an adapter kit available.

Thanks Jeremy, you have become the Godfather of the half shafts!
The 8mm type axle is available to me, i haven't taken mine apart yet to look, but if I have the 12mm style, where can I source that adapter kit?
