Rocky,
The last information I have is that there was no alternative to the
'Glacier' quality bearing for the big ends, either from Galcier/Federal
Mogul or King, but things may have happened in the last few years and Canley
Classics will know if anything has happened - I think there are mains
available in Vandervall or lead copper by ordering them for the Metro Turbo,
possibly the locating tags are on the wrong side but it isn't too difficult
to file a new tag slot in the block and cap.
