[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 169114, member: 456"] Thank you John for your suggestion. I have been out in my man cave trying to find enough parts to measure. There is a taper roller bearing with a 30 mm ID. 51 mm OD and 15 mm deep. The problem is I can only find the cup apart of a cup and cone type original bearing so I do not know the over all size of the original bearings. Whether it would be sensible to reduce the OD of this bearing I do not know. The thin end of the tapered outer is about 0.5 mm so, even allowing for it to be a heated shrink fit in the head lug it is getting thin. As for the depth does anyone have the overall depth of a cup and cone plus ball bearings? One thing where the taper rollers wins out over the originals is cost. Each of the taper roller bearings cost just over £20 while a cup and cone alone (i.e one of each) is about £120, then there are the ball bearing. [/QUOTE]
