From memory, the 264mm spindle fitted flush to the ends of my old swingarm, leaving no room for the snap rings whereas, in the Monster swingarm the snap ring grooves fit to the ends as you would expect.
I don't know whether 888 arms ever had snap rings or whether that was an addition when going to the Monster models? I did briefly look for a longer spindle but didn't find anything, but I didn't look or try too hard as it worked fine without the rings - until the swingarm cracked that is, at which point snap rings would have held it all together. Though, I suppose I might then not have noticed the cracks seeing as they were on the underside?
You could always get a spindle made to suit, I had a rear wheel spindle made for mine (from titanium) as I was struggling to find one at the time.
