Sorry Stew, but it might be you barking up the wrong tree. Michael copied from the Canadian Carrier parts book that the spindle was 7/8" BSP. Remember the Carrier was a British design and build and Canada supplemented production, British Standard thread forms were used for interchangability which all made sense. Some of the early Canadian built Carrier had British components fitted.

As for metric, you may be surprised to know that metric sized bearings were used by Ford in the gearboxes.
