If the crank is standard and the journals don’t require a regrind then buying a standard set of bearings as sold will provide the correct running clearances. As to the best supplier I would be using the TR specialists especially those who specialise in competition, TR Enterprises, Revingtons, Racetoration and others.

Waldi Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 John, I ordered King trimetal, they are relatively cheep, but appeared to result in a larger than acceptable radial clearance. All other clearances (journals and caps) were correct. I never had a response from King, other than “speak to your distributor” . I then ordered Glacier, and the clearances came out as “per the book”. There are several posts on this forum about this. Some prefer NOS, but I prefer new (recently produced) good quality items, because in 40-50 years, a lot can happen. But that is my personal thought. Others have used the cheap bearings (I think County) from our suppliers with succes, so that is another option. Regards, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
