Hey Reid what did you do with the bearings on the comondoor hubs am assuming you have to machine the inner bearing out for the larger bearing .....sorta defetes the purpose of the conversion i be thinking       Cheers Neil

Hi Neil the main inner bearing is XE Falcon fits strait in no machining the outer bearing will be machined out for bedford size same as the old castlemain kit easy as Cheers Reid

Done a little more machining today Turned down outside diameter to fit inside disc hat & machined 3mm off the face so the spiggot came through enough for wheel to locate Next job to machine out outside bearing
