Title: steering races
Post by: singleminded on January 08, 2019, 06:13:19 PM
Hi everyone, are new steering bearing races being made anywhere?
Does anyone know of an alternative that will fit as I may need some for my 9/90 build..John

Quite right Vic, the only thing is he has had them made oversize on the OD in case of frame wear so if your frame isn't worn you need to find a way to reduce the OD. Maybe Chris would be willing to do this...maybe he will curse me for suggesting it!
cheers R

When I purchased some from Chris a few years ago he asked me to measure the frame "socket" diameters.... the ones supplied fitted perfectly.
