Greg,
Welcome to the forum. 
I won't embarrass you for wanting to slip in quietly with no introduction. Seems that in those years of building A10s you might have taken some photos that we would all love to see in any state of build, sometimes the grittier the better.
You have definitely dived in on one of our favorite topics. If you have been watching the forum for a while you might already know that. Personally, I really appreciate knowing that the bearing-hold Loctite has worked for you, because I am currently depending on that method myself. I will assume that your previous shim disintegration occurred regardless of a well-tightened cush nut.
Richard L.
