    You know you come across some special moments that you just can't plan? This is exactly what happened whilst we posed for the picture. A veteran and his daughter stood there waiting to pass after we had taken the picture. They read the banner and then came over to talk with us to see what it was all about. I explained exactly what we had done and why we had done it and exactly the sort of people who donated.

     

    This gentleman was clearly very moved. The most extraordinary thing happened, he ask me for every one's address so that he could write a personal letter of thanks to everyone of us. I told him this wasn't at all necessary and it is us who thank you. He looked me square in the eyes and said 'son we done what we done for you and we would do it again, take that back to all of your members and never forget us'. Ever seen a 41 one year old man cry?

     

    Very moving

  2. Oooooh!!! Can't you just hear the announcer at W&P:

     

    "Here comes last years winner of the Bart award in his WW2 GMC - being towed into the arena I'm afraid as he has not been able to stop it losing electrons"

    Behind a PW vehicle :rofl:

  3. Your existing bearing has the sizes of

    Bore .562 (9/16) (14.28mm)

    O/D 1.75 (1 ¾) (44.45mm)

    Width .812 (13/16) (20.638mm)

    Cone width .8880 (22.55mm)

    Cup width .5625 (20.638)

     

    The nearest metric equivalent is 30203

    Bore 17mm

    O/D 40mm

    Width 13.25mm

     

    Cone width 12mm

    Cup width 11 mm

     

    Therefore you would need to sleeve both the bore, housing and have a spacer to allow for the difference in depth

    Thats great, thanks for your time.

     

    Regarding the wheel Tapered roller bearings, I have now found the dimensions which are OD 1.7500 ID 0.5625. I have sent an email to vintage bearings but If anyone knows where to get them from please let me know

     

    Cheers

    Gone and left my bit of paper with numbers at work :-( but I think that the part numbers were 1163X/1120 Which I can get but haven't got a price yet
