diggerjames 543 #80 Posted May 7, 2016 That is looking awesome mate you fitted the bearings ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #81 Posted May 7, 2016 I couldn't fit the bearings James their a tad to big, the only way is to machine a bit out of the wheel hub and the wheel wont fit in my lathe. Ive put the old bearings back in with plenty of grease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #82 Posted May 9, 2016 I emailed the manufacturing company this morning just on the off chance they would give me any information and got a very encouraging response within an hour. i asked them for any early sales brochures and the plastic builders plate which they are going to sort for me. they were interested that I'm restoring it and have asked for photos which i will email to them 6 Stormin, Alan, nigel and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
