Not quite correct. Only BN6s fitted with disc wheels will have ball type
front wheel bearings.
Ball type bearings were used on the BN1 and six-cylinder Austin-Healeys
fitted with disc wheels.
It is possible to convert them, but you will have to do a little machineing
and shopping around for the right size taper roller bearings.
