Post by: hubii on November 16, 2019, 09:57:00 PM
Hi,

Thank you for your help!

If you mean the Steering head bearing cups then contact Chris Odling. I got some from him for a 1929 frame.
Be aware though that ball bearings are available in different grades. Grade 1000 is not as accurate as grade 100..i had problems as the grade 1000 balls did not fit the cupps properly. I changed to grade 100 and all was well.  John
