No need to do that right now, Tom.  My bearings and seals are in good
shape,  I wouldn't wan't to take them apart right now to measure them
against a TR6 anyway.  Too many other areas need work at the moment.
If anyone has the dimemnsions though, it sure would be nice to stash them
away for future reference.
