Peter -
Do not,* I repeat*, DO NOT use these bearings. They are unsafe. You must
use proper thrust ball bearings for the BN1. You can get them from British
Car Specialists in Stockton, California. www.britishcarspecialitsts.com.
Let me check around, I think there is a proper UK supplier for these as
well.
