I have just had another look at the BIG 7 front axle and measuring the recess in the underside of the ends realise that the OD of the thrust needs to be 1 1/16 inch to fit partly inside. (not 1 1/8".....I got that from measuring the largest face on the stub axle. 
For those that have said the thrusts are easily available from our suppliers -- NO. Seven workshops says no, Mark Greening says no, A7c says NO. You are all thinking of the standard A7 not the BIG 7.
Standard 7 thrust ID 1/2" X OD 15/16" X thick 3/32" (0.15748")
Big 7 ID 5/8" X OD 1 1/16 X thickness ? Around 0.157" (4mm)?

Will try to put some photos up.
