He will need a pom pom as well.

I thought you had bought a kit, bushes and spindel, then turning them down would have made the set up loose. The idea was to turn the spindel to 17.5ish and then make the bushes with the bore to 17.5ish, you would only need the bushes then and not have to ream the bushes to fit. You could have just ...

Sorry for delay replying. As you have a local machinist I would be inclined to ask him to skim your present spindel, guessing from experience down to 17.5mm and knocking out a couple of bushes to suit if needs be in PB and hope the holes line up with a light tap fit, they will soon go sloppy with th...

Have to start again everything disappeared. I am not conversent with the Mdina arrangements, whether using PB bushes or 'plastic ones. The originals however, had the sintered iron bushes which shoul have to be reamed out to size using a piloted reamer to ensure that the bushes were in allignment and...

When I was making the spindels aswell, that bush that you have found is the one to use. However, as NLM wanted a mortgage for new spindels I looked at recovering the used ones which meant that bush would not work. The spindels would need machining down to about 17.5 and they did do bushes whith i/d ...

Original bushes were sintered iron. The club did do PB bushes but they would last the same legth of time as originals. The spindels would only wear on one side owing to the production of grinding paste. The spindels are 18mm diameter and the wear is usually around 0.5mm so you can use the original s...

Fit a kawasaki one, £8 off ebay, will take the current and robustly made, outlasts the light weight stuff from italy.

Regarding obsolete bearings, Mr Lambertini beefed up the bearings on the crankshaft and gearbox, the bearings being manufactured by SKF. The original bearings had numbers 633250C and dimensions of 33.72.14 for the crankshaft, and the input bearing for the gearbox is 633245A. I bought the last genuin...

Having been over to the garages dodgeing the heat of the day, I have dug out my box of new spares and the box of bearings manufactured for the FIAT engines, the box bbearing9sic0 the manufacturer Glacier B4242SAsuitablefr FIAT. I have a box of 4 at 0.10"undersize with the number S8662SA and 2 a...

Dear Pedro, Just to puy your mind at rest regarding the substitute drive sside ball bearing for the 5oo+ engines, I sold the correct bearing aerlier this year as I bought the last one available from NLm a long time ago. However, on talking to Ade Crimp about this 'no longer available ' bearing owing...

In the goodold days it was accepted to use a handful of small ball bearings and gently skake the tank where the flaking rust was present. If you cannot 'dismantle' old bearing races then use of fine grit from recently resurfaced roads would do an equally good job - bit like sand blasting but more ge...

Simplest way to blank the feed to the original plain bearing when converting to a roller bearing, is to tap a brass plug into the hole on the crankshaft journal rather than go to the palaver of blanking the feed from the big end.

Having gone back into my sanctum, and having a minute thinking I was sure I once had the same problem as you have, I had a fertle in 'one of never throw away anything that may come in useful electical tins' and after five minutes found what you are looking for. I have four way spades and two way spa...

The spade type connectors you ask about were devised by Lucas Industries in the 1950's and were patented as Lucar Connectors. You would be best to search for anything from car components of that era, the chances of you getting hold of the one you want to fit will be looking for something in a hay st...

If 'tut other half' won't let you do it with the Sunday roast then do it when she is out jogging. Someone might say, but if you heat the head up and have the original castiron valve guides, then you will knock the guides out - differential expansion, the original guides have spring clips so they can...
