Thanks Rick. The numbers all match up. With just those numbers, the agent
was able to produce the bearings in a matter of minutes.
The specifications for the oil seal are:
Inner Diameter 48mm
Outer Diameter 62mm
Thickness 08mm
This is commonly known as a 62-48-8 Oil Seal.
While I was at it, I managed to pick up a pair of brand new brake discs for
the GT. Seeing how they have to come off, and that they are quite past
it's best, I think it would be wise to change them as well.
Will be trying to put it all together this long weekend (Wed-Sun) that
we're having here in Singapore.
